First Time in Paperback. His Friend had Disappeared on an Alien
World--and Unless He Found Him Before the Authorities Did, Earth Might
Lose Its Last Chance for a Rebirth of Hope and Justice. Real Science
Fiction Adventure by a New York Times Best-Selling Author.
Something strange is happening on the planet Cyrene, which is in the
early phases of being developed by the mammoth Interworld Restructuring
Corporation. Terrans from the base there have been disappearing. Myles
Callen, a ruthlessly efficient Facilitator, is sent to investigate. Also
with the mission is Marc Shearer, a young, idealistic quantum physicist,
disillusioned with the world, who's on his way to join a former
colleague, Evan Wade. On arrival he finds that Wade too has vanished and
doesn't want to be found by the Terran authorities. Wade has arranged
contact via the Cyreneans, however, and accompanied by two companions
that he has befriended, Shearer embarks on a journey to find his friend
that will change Cyrene--and Earth itself.
