comment
A novel by N. Lee Wood. It is a sci-fi/gender equality piece of literature.When botanist Nathan Crewe drops onto a secretive and xenophobic world's jungle, all he wanted was some plants. Some samples to make his name in a narrow field and maybe get a spot at a two-bit university. What he didn't expect was to be met by a ring of policewomen pointing state-of-the-art guns at him.He gets shipped off to a hospital and is imprisoned in a whitewomb, an egg-like place for keeping comatose indivuduals. When he is finally let out, he meets the Pratha h'may of the Ngaesha, who takes him under her wing and teaches him the planet's matrilineal, male-suppressing language. When he recieves an offer of marriage to the heir to one to the Nine Great Families and meets a Pilot who he falls in love with, everything goes under. Not to mention the fact that he has adopted a boy with the same hatred of captivity and subservience they are locked into in that society, and his mother-in-law HATES him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })

Aliens Speaking English: Subverted. Nathan can't understand a word for quite some time, and even then he will never be fully fluent.

Applied Phlebotinum: there's really no description anywhere of how any of the technology works, it just does because they're so far advanced into the future.

Crystal Spires and Togas: the planet looks provincial and quaint, as does the Ngaesha House, but that just masks a vast underground policy of hiding the tech.

The Clan: There are Nine great Families, all of which control the money-making Worms (wormholes). Partially subverted in that Family members regularly murder each other in such a manner as to make it untraceable, and anyone can marry in or get themselves adopted in.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Subverted. N. Lee Wood made up an entire language for the novel.
