Book description
During his heroic first encounter with an alien race, Dick Muller was
permanently altered, hideously transformed in a way that left him
repulsive to the entire human race. Alone and embittered, he exiled
himself to Lemnos, an abandoned planet famed for its labyrinthine
horrors, both real and imagined. But now, Earth trembles on the brink of
extinction, threatened by another alien species, and only Muller can
rescue the planet. Men must enter the murderous maze of Lemnos, find
Muller, and convince him to return with them. But will the homeless
alien, alone in the universe, risk his life to save his race, the race
that has utterly rejected him? (First published 1968) Robert
