Although known among the most scrupulously accurate of the "hard science" writers, someone careful to always have the scientific details right, Hal Clement also offers a rich and lively imagination, in particular when it involves alien lifeforms, and he has generated some of the most memorable alien characters in science fiction. Clement's outdone even himself in the suspenseful novella, Exchange Rate, in which harried human explorers (under great pressure in more ways than one!) must try to figure out the lifeways and motivations of some extremely strange and enigmatic alien creatures using one of the strangest planets ever portrayed in science fiction - and do it all before the clock runs out. Exchange Rate was chosen for inclusion in the Seventeenth Annual Assortment of The Year's Best Science Fiction.
