When burned-out starship captain Jesse Sanders is seized by a
dictatorial medical regime and detained on the colony planet
Undine, he has no idea that he is about to be plunged into a
bewildering new life that will involve ordeals and joys beyond
anything he has ever imagined, as well as the love of a woman with
powers that seem superhuman. Still less does he suspect that he
must soon take responsibility for the lives of people he has come
to care about and preservation of their hopes for the future of
humankind.
This controversial novel, winner of a bronze medal in the 2008
Independent Publisher (IPPY) Book Awards, deals with the so-called
paranormal powers of the human mind and appeals to a wide range of
readers who question the dominant medical philosophy of today's
society. Unlike Engdahl's earlier novels, it is not a YA book and
is not appropriate for middle-school readers.
This edition is formatted to match the sequel, "Promise of the
Flame." The text is unchanged from the 2007 edition.
