About this ebook

"One body, two minds--and a world in the balance!" Marion Zimmer Bradley has written some of the finest science fiction in print. She has been away from our pages too long. So this story is in the nature of a triumphant return. It could well be her best to date.

Ratings and reviews

Good story but the authors awful acceptance of/abuse of her children makes me loathe to read any more of her works

Ever since I was a child I've enjoyed this book. Reading it again was wonderful.
