Synopsis

The Patternamster is dying. He rules his own race of selectively bred, psionically powerful patternists, who in turn dominate the non-telepathic, servile 'mutes'. A hostile third race -the mutant cannibal Clayarks- prey on the wastes between the cities.

A devious, drawn-out and cruel battle of wits and psionic power -to the death...
