Author: Julian May
Description:
It is the year 2051, and the Earth stands on the brink of acceptance as a full member of te Galactic Milieu, a confederatino of worlds spread across the galaxy. Leading humanity is the powerful Remillard family, but somebody - or something - known only as Fury - wants them out of the way. Only Rogi Remillard, chosen tool of the most powerful alien being in the Milieu, and Rogi's nephew Marc, the greatest metapsychic yet born on Earth, know about Fury. But even they are powerless to stop it when it begins to kill off Remillards and other metapsychic operants - and all of the suspects are the Remillards themselves. Meanwhile, a Remillard son has been born who may represent the next step in human evolution, but his DNA includes an array of genes programmed to destroy his body cell by cell.... The first of a brilliant new trilogy by the acclaimed author of The Saga of Pliocene Exile, this is a grand-scale novel of political ambitions and of humans struggling to cope with superhuman powers and the new frontier of a galactic civilization.
