About This Book

A young cargo-master on leave lands on a sweltering colonial world and becomes drawn into a conflict between empirical reasoning and ritualized mind-control. A charismatic native mentalist exerts hypnotic influence that animates animals and manipulates people, forcing the trader and a small ship's crew, aided by a pragmatic medic and a ranger, to confront phenomena that defy ordinary explanation. As alliances and skills are tested, technological resourcefulness and cultural insight must be combined to identify and overcome the source of the malign sorcery and secure the party's survival.
