Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Reading Foster ( Quozl ) is like eating a meringue: it's not very filling, but it tastes just fine. Foster likes to put silly twists on old stories. In this case, he has a race of guardians (called Monitors) whose function is to guide the races of different planets through their evolution--the twist being that the Monitors take the form of cats. The plot involves a Renegadeuppercase ok?/yes/pk Monitor who tries to disrupt Earth by bringing about the return of a lost tribe of South American natives. The natives, now called Contisuyuns, live on another world, which they landed on by way of transmitters left by a group of aliens called Boojums, who look like trees and speak with British accents. The Contisuyuns plan to take long overdue revenge for the conquistadores' 15th-century ravaging by creating a TV show that broadcasts subliminal anti-Spain messages. The main characters, who encounter these variously fey creatures, include a pretty-boy actor, a wardrobe designer, their faithful Indian guide, an aspiring archeologist, a pair of Peruvian capitalists, a tabloid reporter and a large and power-hungry Peruvian woman.
Another cat book for Shaunesay!

I love science fiction. This wasn't the type that I usually like, though, with alien vegetables and such...

I have to say that looking at how far it has traveled is interesting. Wish I could have done that on all the hundreds of sci fi books I've read over the last 35 years. I will return this to some thrift store (probably St Vincent de Paul) and it will come your way. It's starting to get kind of ragged looking.
