Bone is a science fiction novel that appears to have been written in the mid-20th century. The story follows Dr. Jac Kennon, a recent veterinary graduate, as he embarks on a new position on the primitive planet of Kardon. He faces a challenging environment marked by its unique humanoid inhabitants known as Lani, with whom he must navigate societal norms and ethical dilemmas regarding their treatment as livestock, delving deep into themes of morality, colonization, and the definitions of humanity. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Jac Kennon through his contemplation of a job advertisement for a veterinarian position on Kardon, which he initially finds suspicious due to its generous salary. As he arrives on the planet and interacts with its society, he begins to understand the complexities of his new role, particularly focusing on the Lani, humanoid beings that possess a striking resemblance to humans but are treated as animals. The opening chapters capture Kennon’s internal struggle with his ethical concerns about the Lani's treatment and his responsibilities, setting up an intriguing conflict that will drive the character's development throughout the story.
