The protagonist is captured by an alien race that has conquered humanity. He is 'Different' than others, coming from a long lived race. The aliens, discovering this have placed him aboard a starship for transport to another world where he is to be studied. Our hero is in a constant struggle for survival and his need to hide the truth behind his origins. He finds another also like himself. These two start exploring their commonalities. He of Terran stock, She of totally alien make-up. While on the run from persuit they come to the conclusion that he is indeed of alien stock. But I can't give it all away. The more interesting bits will have to wait for you to read the book. MWAHAHAHAHA
