Synopsis
|
When
hard-luck spaceman
Jack Waley
crashlanded on the
planet Kerim he
found a weird and
wonderful world
thrown into
fearful chaos by
the anger of its
quasi-god,
Pe'Ichen.
The mysterious
Pe'Ichen showered
his people with
jewelry, weapons,
clothing ... yet
denied them the
necessities, such
as food and
shelter. The
grand houses of
Kerim, which had
always repaired
themselves for as
long as anyone
could remember,
now were
crumbling, falling
hazards to anyone
venturing near
them.
Yet these were
only the symptoms
of a far deadlier
peril shadowing
this once-bright
planet ... a peril
bumbling Jack
Waley would
ultimately have to
face alone, with
an entire world's
fate hanging in
the balance. |
