Book XVIII of Darkover.  For Jeff Kerwin, Darkover meant home, the home he had left as a child, the home he had longed for through the many years. When he finally returned, it was to mystery.  There were no records of any kind of either his birth or childhood.Then after he renounced his Terran allegiance and joined the natives attempting to free Darkover from Earth’s control, the Darkovans accused him of being a spy. Had Jeff been conditioned on Earth to betray Darkover? He was no longer sure of who – or what – he really was. Cover art by Melvyn Grant.
