In a moving story of sacrifice and triumph, human scientists establish a relationship with intelligent lifeformsβthe cheelaβliving on Dragonβs Egg, a neutron star where one Earth hour is equivalent to hundreds of their years. The cheela culturally evolve from savagery to the discovery of science, and for a brief time, men are their diligent teachers.
