"I looked out at the rising sun. It formed a beautiful,
translucently violet horizon where the curve of Andowhan ended and
space began. I wondered if there might be something better beyond
that horizon. There must be some real meaning, out there, but I
felt isolated and constrained from it."
Caleb Lonnergan is the youngest son of a family anxious to
shield him from the civilization that has already claimed the life
of his oldest brother. Although his relatives are indulgent and
well-intentioned, Caleb is often irritated by their sheltering and
their efforts to keep him in the role of a traditionally dutiful
Shondrean son.
Caleb's life changes dramatically when a letter arrives from his
father's twin brother Malakai, a letter which fulfills a drunken
promise made during a long-ago visit. Malakai offers Caleb a job in
a Colonial project scorned by most as a waste of resources-the
human re-colonization of Terra.
Caleb impulsively accepts his uncle's offer, having always been
fascinated by tales of the dangerous, ancient planet. But lying
within Caleb, like a quiet dragon, is a rare genetic anomaly. And,
as he experiences first-hand the dangers that seem to lie
everywhere but the devastated birthplace of humanity, he learns
there is much more to his uncle's offer than he initially realized
.
