Back cover -According to ever reading it was a paradise planet - a warm and fecund world bar more desirable than the teeming, polluted warrens of the planet-city that Earth had become. Yet when the last of the one-eay transports had landed its cargo of Pilgrims, the men of Earth were to learn of a danger that no machinge could detect, and against which no machine could defend them - the Mushin, mental entities that stimulate and amplify the dark streak of violence that lies near the core of every human being.
Seven generations would pass before a descendant of the scattered remnant of the original colonists would be ready to face the power of the Mushin. But first he would have to learn to wield the weapon that is no weapon - and that only where there is no Will, is there a Way . . .
His name is Jerome. This is his story. He is the Way-Farer.
Dennis Schmidt has written a fast-paced, tightly plotted adventure novel that skillfully blends traditional science-fiction themes with martial arts and meditation.
