Book description
Abner Harris was sent to Earth on a mission of extreme urgency. The
universe was in danger of enslavement by the Medlins, and the fight
against them called for Harris to assume the disguise of a
flesh-and-blood Earthman. But he discovered that the real villains of
space were not the Medlins or the people of Earth: they were his own
kind. Suddenly he was alone, alienated from his own race, hated by the
Medlins, and an imposter on Earth. No matter what side he chose he'd be
a traitor. Yet choose he must or remain for ever a man without a planet.
