Glin, a normal human boy, was born on a planet where genetically modified humans live as slaves. Arztlan, a beautiful and temperate world, is a carefully managed game park and religious pilgrimage destination for a predatory species of aliens, called the Hrast. The human slaves on Arztlan have been genetically modified for size and strength, to have claws and night vision, and for aggression. Glin was born without any of these qualities, so he’s a freak to them. He serves the Hrast, but he can’t hunt, so he’s not much use to them or to the human hunters. In their primitive society, freaks don’t live very long. To avoid a violent end, Glin leaves the hunting lodge where he was born and sets out to escape, and then to explore. Arztlan is beautiful, but dangerous. Glin faces challenges, both physical and mental, as he is learns to survive on his own. If he lives, will it all have been worth it? Or will always feel alone?

Why Spiders Eat Flies is a pourquoi tale. A pourquoi tale answers a question. This poem gives us the answer as the friendship between a spider and fly develops. Sultan, whose name means ruler, and Amari, whose name means builder, both live in the jungle. They spend lots of time together, yet a particular time in Amari's life takes his focus off the friendship. The friendship is tested, and the outcome surprises both of them. As the poem develops, we see times of spending time together, having fun, becoming impatient, and dealing with disappointment. Ultimately, the question is answered, and friends learn that each personality should be respected.
