Cora has no choice but to trust Kaveh, and the two must work together to prove to a fearful world that intelligent, conscious beings should be considered persons, no matter how horrifying, powerful, or malicious they may seem. Despite this, Ampersand is still keen on keeping secrets, even from Cora, which backfires on them both when investigative journalist Kaveh Mazandarani, a close colleague of Cora’s unscrupulous estranged father, witnesses far more of Ampersand’s machinations than anyone was meant to see. How do you define “person” in the first place?Ĭora Sabino not only serves as the full-time communication intermediary between the alien entity Ampersand and his government chaperones but also shares a mysterious bond with him that is both painful and intimate in ways neither of them could have anticipated. As the political climate grows more unstable, the world is forced to consider the ramifications of granting human rights to nonhuman persons. The human race is at a crossroads we know that we are not alone, but details about the alien presence on Earth are still being withheld from the public.
