In the 25th century, Tober Cove is a wonderful place to be. With most of
Earth's population long since departed for other planets, and with them
the technology that makes such a journey possible, life here is simple
and serene--especially for Fullin, a gifted musician whose talent
commands many times the wages of a farmer or fisherman. But Fullin is
twenty years old. And at that age, each person in Tober Cove must make
the most important decision in life. Ominous winds of change swirl
toward Fullin's idyllic existence, carrying dark secrets that will upend
his beliefs, alter his view of reality and threaten his very life. But
for the boy himself, there is no more room for indecision. The time has
come to take an irrevocable stand and seal his fate forever. The hour of
commitment is here.
From the author of Expendable, a major new voice in imaginative
fiction, here is a spellbinding adventure which dares to pose critical
questions about the human condition and answer them.
