Three thousand years after Earth's colonisation of the planet
Borthan, stories of self-serving hypocrisy that occured among the
first arrivals have bred a culture that forbids emotional sharing
and denies the naturally human concept of 'self'. The result is a
lasting peace, but at a terrible price. For it is a peace without
love, without self, where even the mention of the word 'I' is
taboo. Spurred on by the arrival of an Earthman with a self-baring
drug, Kinnall Darival breaks the strict code of the Covenant to
record the sordid details of his rebelious life from the days of
his royal youth to self-appointed prophet of love. He begins his
account with the greatest of heresies: 'I am Kinnall Darival and I
mean to tell you all about myself.' Winner of the Nebula Award for
best novel.
