A second draft of Peregrin is now complete and undergoing further revisions. It will be about 90k or so words when it's done (~300 pages), quite a bit shorter than Xenolith (120k, 400 pages).
Here's a draft of a blurb to give you the gist of the storyline:
Dr. Frank Bowen rediscovers long-lost wife Liz in the war-ravaged back hills of Gi, but the reunion is awkward, almost hostile -- nothing like his dreams. Liz, scarred emotionally and physically, assimilated into Giep’o culture, scarcely resembles the woman he married. What secrets and traumas account for Frank’s cold reception? Can he regain her heart by saving her gravely wounded child, a boy Frank suspects might be his own son? Can he convince her to return to the land of her birth in the face of a rapidly worsening guerrilla war?
