In Cuckoo's Egg :  They named him Thorn. They told him he was of their people, although he was ugly in their eyes, strange, sleek-skinned instead of furred, clawless, different.

And she knew her time had come.... 410 0$aAlliance-Union Universe 606 $aScience fiction, American 615 0$aScience fiction, American. 676 $a813.54 700 $aCherryh$b C.
