Livro: protagonista feminina transformada em alienígena no planeta alienígena

9

Eu tenho tentado descobrir isso há anos. Há outra postagem semelhante, mas não tenho certeza se é a mesma coisa.

Protagonista feminina, eu não me lembro como ela se encontra no planeta alienígena, mas ela está ferida ou presa ou algo assim para que os alienígenas a transformem em um deles. Pelo que me lembro, eles são como sapos, moram na floresta e me lembro vagamente da comunicação telepática?

Em algum momento, existem outros humanos, e ela se transforma em um humano. Lembro-me de uma cena de sexo gráfica bizarra e fora de lugar com um ser humano.

Também, por alguma razão, continuo pensando que o autor talvez fosse sueco ou dinamarquês?

A cor da distância - Amy Thompson - Capa do livro

Possivelmente "A cor da distância" de Amy Thomson.

The book opens from the alien perspective with the frog-like inhabitants of the rain forests of a world called Tendu. The elders of one of their tribes find a bizarre new animal on the verge of death and perform a miraculous feat of bioengineering in order to save it.

The creature's name is Juna, and she's part of a human survey mission to the planet. Her scout ship crashed and her crew -- clad in environment suits -- had been forced to try and hike back to base camp through the dense Tendu forest. Their suits ruptured during the trip, exposing them to an atmosphere to which their bodies were violently allergic. Everyone else died, and Juna expected to join them.

She didn't, a fact that amazes and horrifies her when she awakes to find herself transformed into something resembling the aliens. She's able to breathe without life support, has a strange skin that reacts to her moods, and razor-sharp talons. After choking back her fear, she begins making contact with the intelligent aliens, hoping against hope that she can still get to her mothership before it leaves.

Um pouco diferente da sua descrição, mas a raça alienígena se comunica alterando a cor da pele:

As with many Earth frogs, they can change their skin colour. What started as camouflage and simple colour signals has evolved into a sophisticated symbolic language, presumably along the lines of Egyptian or Mayan hieroglyphs.

Definitivamente, existe muito conteúdo sexual. Não vou entrar em detalhes, mas eis como o protagonista reage durante um desses cenários:

Her skin felt warm, as though a lover had been stroking her. She opened her eyes. Her skin was a brilliant, metallic gold. Was this the color of sexual arousal? The aliens were the same shade of gold. Juna fought back a wave of panic. Did this mean they wanted to have sex with her?

Além disso, a protagonista se transforma novamente em sua forma humana. Essa conversa (estranha) entre Juna e Bruce, seu novo amante "humano", deve ilustrar isso.

“What are you thinking?” he whispered.

Juna laughed. “I was just thinking how good it is to have nipples again.”

“I wouldn’t have minded you without them,” he said.

“But it bothered me,” she replied.

“I could have gotten used to it, Juna. I was willing to try.”
