Ran-Del Jahanpur is a warrior of the Sansoussy Forest, trained in both
the mental and physical Disciplines of his people. He thinks he's
prepared for any danger the forest might hold, but his skills prove
useless when he's caught in a hi-tech trap. Soon Ran-Del finds himself
in a city so alien it might as well be another world—machines speak,
vehicles fly, and his captors' weapons can inflict pain without touching
him. Every time Ran-Del tries to escape, he's foiled by a technology he
doesn't understand. As terrifying as the city is, his kidnapper, the
enigmatic Baron Hayden, exudes a jovial affability that worries the
Sansoussy even more. What can such a powerful man want with a Sansoussy
warrior, who can neither read nor write and knows nothing of city ways?
The Baron's daughter Francesca clearly knows more than she's saying, but
Ran-Del's psy sense tells him only she's being truthful, not what she's
thinking. And it's only after it seems that Ran-Del has escaped the
city and its dangers, that he finds out how thoroughly he has been
caught.
