Halfway Human by Carolyn Ives Gilman. By Natasja Hellenthal. Synopsis. Tedla is a 'bland,' an asexual class of people that exist only to serve their fellow beings. Val is an expert on alien cultures but has never seen a bland before. "Dark Orbit is set in the same Twenty Planets universe as Gilman's novel Halfway Human. Comparisons to Ursula K. LeGuin are inevitable (and not unwarranted), but Dark Orbit has a strong thread of thriller-like suspense that keeps one turning the pages.
