Book Description:
On the distant planet Dreenor lives the most powerful species in the Galaxy. All of the Universe is the creation of the Dreens, who possess the power of "idmaging", turning their thoughts into reality. They can create whole worlds, of which the wild, ungovernable planet Earth is one. But suddenly Earth is a threat, its people on the verge of discovering interstellar travel, and with it, of gaining access to Dreenor itself - a paradox within a paradox, not to be permitted. While the elder Dreens plan Earth's destruction, a youngster, Ryll, embarks on an unauthorised jaunt across space. Forced for survival to merge bodies with an Earther whose mind is as strong as his own, he has to battle for control. And the future of all earthly life lies in the hand of a composite being, half wily, aggressive human, half naive adolescent alien, confused and far from home...

This is an excellent book. If you read the description of idmagining above you'd think that would be the main focus. The initial reading I did on this book lead me to believe the alien/human hybrid would be a cooperative working to prevent the destruction of earth, however, they seem to constantly be at odds.

The book is fantastic. Again, with something as powerful as idmagining you'd expect the authors to focus on that ability, however, in true Herbert fashion, the focus on more important issues, penning a terrific tale in the process.

"Suppose all of Earth - all of the universe - were the creation of an alien world's fertile imagination. Suppose the human race had the power to destroy that world without knowing that to do so would erase Earth's existance. Now suppose that the fate of both races rest in the hands of a human and an alien - merged into one body"

Really quite funny, well-written of course, highly recommended!
