Marseguro, a water world far distant from Earth, is home to a small colony of both unmodified humans and the Selkies, a water-dwelling race created by geneticist Victor Hansen from modified human DNA. For seventy years the Selkies and the unmodified landlings have dwelled together in peace, safe from pursuit by the current fanatical theocratic rulers of Earth.
But everything changes when Earth discovers Marseguro, and a strike force - with Victor Hansen's own grandson Richard aboard - is sent to eradicate this abomination.

Marseguro won Canada's prestigious Prix Aurora, and Terra Insegura was a finalist for this award.
