Book description
It was touch and go for Earl Dumarest when the slavers of the
Matriarchy of Onorldi struck his work camp. Had he not captured the
Matriarch herself during the fight, it might have spelled his doom when
the slavers triumphed. Because, even though the odds had turned heavily
against him, he was able to strike a bargain. The Matriarch's child
daughter Iduna had disappeared into the mind-trap of the Tau. If he
could follow, find her, and return with her, he would have his freedom
and a chance to locate the lost Earth he sought. But Dumarest had to
outwit her monster playthings, outfight her hideous horrors, and
outdream her satanic fantasies . . . (First published 1979) Edwin
