DESCRIPTION: On the planet of Iwagen, Richard and Mara Cheneyhave
taken over their late parentsŐ project. They discovered there were latent
telepaths among the alien Dur-ill, and started a hospice for telepathic
Dur-ill who are going into telepause. They're hoping this will be the
beginning of a new generation of telepaths.
But there's another party interested in the Dur-ill telepaths, too. A
group mind being called the Mentad has been growing on various Dur-ill
worlds. The Mentad seeks out telepausal Dur-ill telepaths and absorbs
them into itself, becoming a collective consciousness with many bodies.
It learns about this hospice, and the Mentad staged a raid on the hospice.
When his sister is taken by the Mentad, Richard must seek the aid of
The Agency, the same group responsible for wanting his parents dead. With
the assistance of new friends and The Agency, Richard will stop at nothing
to free his sister and the others from the Mentad's clutches.
