About this book

A shapeshifter's love for a human sends him on a dangerous journey in the second entry of this science fiction trilogy for fans of Ray Bradbury and Clifford D. Simak.
The shapeshifting beast has grown and is now on his third human form: Barry Golden, a handsome young man in love. Unfortunately, Barry has fallen for a married woman whose husband isn't about to let her go. Instead, he attempts to take Barry's life, forcing the critically wounded man to transform into the beast and flee to the woods for his safety.
As time passes, the injured beast discovers he can summon other creatures with his mind. At first small animals, then two humans. With their aid, he acquires a safe place to heal . . . until his mind control slips. The beast is captured and displayed as the star of a sideshow. Now caged and heavily guarded, he fears he will never escape. But perhaps there is one last chance to be free . . .
Praise for Robert Stallman
"Stallman reminds me of Ray Bradbury . . . A big talent." —Peter Straub, coauthor of The Talisman
"An exciting blend of love and violence, of sensitivity and savagery." —Fritz Leiber, author of Swords and Deviltry
" The Orphan is frank, violent, and at times erotic in jarring, unexpected ways. The bottom line? Highly recommended." — Black Gate
