| Abstract
|
:
|
"Colonel Morton was sent to Diamondia to report on the guerrilla warfare between the Earth colonists and the native warriors of the inhuman Irsk. Because someting was going terribly wrong, a darkness was setting in, mental confusion was widespread, and there was evidence of Outside interference. It seemed as if the Outside were deliberately stirring up the planetary pot, mixing minds with minds, and personalities with personalities,. But when Morton realized that the only solution might be to find and use the incalculable power of the Lositeen Weapon, he realized also that the decision was too great for any one man, even for all men together, to make."--Page [4] of cover.
