It's interesting in the Afterword, Butler relates know what to Wen Ho Lee. Part of that's because a huge chunk of the story is Noah's history, first being abducted by the aliens as the aliens were experimenting on humans to try to figure out what they were and how to communicate with them, and then after she was released by the aliens, being abducted and tortured by some shadowy human organization, possibly part of the government, in order to extract intelligence about those aliens. This story seems to have a lot more exposition than the other Butler stories in this collection. They appropriated large desert areas of the planet and built domes. Like Bloodchild, the aliens clearly have the upper hand. Unlike in Bloodchild, this time the aliens came to Earth. I liked this story of a woman (Noah) whose job is liaison between aliens and humans.
