A high-octane space opera from a master of the genre. Now reissued with a fresh cover look.We''ll learn of a long-buried alien secret, which could hold the key to humanity''s survival. But only one man knows the truth - and some want him dead. On the savage planet of Masada, one of the native aliens is spreading terror through the human population. It creates sculptures from its victims'' remains, earning it its nickname: the Technician. And only Jeremiah Tombs has survived an encounter. This sent him mad, but he may have learned something key to humanity''s survival - if he lives to remember it. Jeremiah was a member of a brutal regime, now deposed, and a radical sect still wants its revenge.The Technician buried something in Jeremiah''s mind about the alien Atheter, an entire race that committed suicide. However, in seeking to understand their disappearance, we may somehow be attracting the same fate. And to unlock Jeremiah''s secrets, Polity operatives must keep him alive.
