Before first contact, the hyper-intelligent kloormari had no exposure to human emotions and concepts such as love, hate, imagination, and gender.
With the arrival of a human expedition to Kuw'baal, the kloormari inhabitants welcomed and trusted all humans. This was especially true for Kelvoo, who befriended first-contact administrator Sam Buchanan and learned of the boundless universe beyond the sky.
The story takes a dark turn when a new human visitor takes advantage of kloormari naivete, convincing Kelvoo and eight other kloormari to join a goodwill mission to faraway star systems. Once aboard Jezebel’s Fury, Kelvoo’s team is enslaved and forced to participate in an interstellar crime spree. Subject to bigotry and mental trauma, the team must deal with their disturbing new emotions and use their limited comprehension of humans to survive captivity and attempt a daring escape. In the meantime back on Kuw'baal, the kloormari experience irreversible changes in the wake of human contact.
Written from Kelvoo’s unique perspective, Kelvoo’s Testimonial provides a fresh and emotionally wrenching perspective on the best and worst of human nature.
Recipient of a coveted Kirkus starred review, Kelvoo’s Testimonial will appeal to readers who enjoy first-person sci-fi adventures like the Murderbot Diaries, along with thought-provoking examinations of humanity in novels such as Klara and the Sun.
