An unusual species of living beings was discovered on the planet Marilyn, which the colonists called “amorphs.” For self-defense, amorphs are able to take the form of the most desirable creature of the one who approaches them. The meeting of amorphs with people changes the fate of not only the planet, but the entire galaxy. The Hetherington Corporation is developing the planet Marilyn, which is inhabited by amorphs. This is a local form of intelligent life that can transform into anyone. If an amorph retains a constant shape for several months in a row, it loses the ability to change it further. The amorphs, taking the form of people, began to penetrate deeper and deeper into the life of the earthly village... Read what this led to in the novel.
