Synopsis: | Lanik Mueller's birthright as heir to planet Treason's most powerful rulership will never be realized. He is a "rad" -- radical regenerative. A freak among people who can regenerate injured flesh... and trade extra body parts to the Offworld oppressors for iron. For, on a planet without hard metals -- or the means of escape -- iron is power in the race to build a spacecraft.
Iron is the promise of freedom -- which may never be fulfilled as Lanik uncovers a treacherous conspiracy beyond his imagination. Now charged with a mission of conquest -- and exile -- Lanik devises a bold and dangerous plan... a quest that may finally break the vicious chain of rivalry and bloodshed that enslaves the people of Treason as the Offworld never could. |

This is a fairly thought provoking, stand alone novel by Orson Scott Card. If your looking for an easy read, science fiction novel with new ideas, that is relatively clean, look no further. One word of warning, this book did make me cringe at points. What the main character physically goes through is grotesque at times. Kinda' like a car accident, it's horrific but you can't look away. The book is well written and a page turner. Enjoy. |
