Book description
The Terridae believed the lost Earth was heaven and utopia combined. In
their artificial planet, they moved slowly through the universe in
search of it. And in their eyes, the rediscovery of Earth was to be the
Event. Now they said the Event was coming! Earl Dumarest - who was born
on Earth and knew the truth - was an unwelcome visitor among them. If
they knew of Earth's whereabouts, they were not telling him. But another
Event was already on its way. A Cyclan ship was rapidly approaching the
Terridae's world, confident that this time Dumarest would fall into
their heartless clutches. Dumarest was not ready to flee - but if he
stayed there would be no Earth for him, only a long, lingering doom.
