The visionary chronicle of the ultimate struggle to rule Earth continues. After countless years of fighting - of pitting sophisticated technology against the primitive surface-dwelling people who seem to possess supernatural powers - the Federation is still no nearer ending the war with the Mutes. Then a lone flier is launched into one of its underground bunkers - a man whose very existence was a challenge to the all-pervading wisdom of the First Family. A man whose destiny would determine the future for both the federation and the Mutes.
