Nefariously deported to his ancestral homeland, Boyd was now trapped on a world of unholy horrors from which there was no escape. All his medical and scientific training was less than useless-it was even dangerous. There seemed no point in trying to fight the new, omnipotent church. Tthen he fell in love and had to learn to understand or perish.* This is a VG copy with minor shelf wear and paper colouration.* 0 186 pp. 1981-01-01. n. Seller Inventory # 5605
