A DORSAI NOVEL
When mankind burst into the stars, the human psyche splintered - and humanity became many species, each a specialized overdevelopment of a single trait.
Tam Olyn was a trained news observer from Old Earth - a complete man. To him the conflict between the fissuring worlds was at first a challenge, then a persoanl vendetta.
THE FRIENDLIES were his enemy... in them blind, fanatical Faith has become an all-abiding obsession.
THE DORSAI were warriors, born and bred, but they had not used their talents for self-glory but had placed them - for a price - at the service of others.
And when these two driving destructive talents of huanity met head on, Tam Olyn had a plan of his own for which cosmic humanity was not prepared.
