    EIFELHEIM by Michael Flynn. A present-day scientific odd couple who are longtime domestic
    partners, physicist Sharon Nagy and historian Tom Schwoerin, look into the fate of the Black
    Forest village of the title, which apparently vanished in the plague year 1348, in Flynn's
    heartbreaking morality play of stranded aliens in medieval Germany. Most of the narrative focuses
    on the consequences of the discovery in the 14th century by Eifelheim's pastor, Father Dietrich, of
    a crashed space ship carrying the "Krenken," horrific grasshopperlike aliens. Despite Inquisitorial
    threats, Dietrich befriends, baptizes and attempts to help the aliens return home. Flynn (The
    Wreck of the River of Stars) masterfully achieves an intricate panorama of medieval life, full of
    fascinatingly realized human and Krenken characters whose fates interconnect with poignant
    irony.(Publishers Weekly)
