Published: Sep 1, 1990

Description:

The world is a changed place since the events related in The Mutant Season. An uneasy peace exists between “normal” humans and the psychic mutants with the golden eyes.

While Michael Ryton gets entangled in an investigation into a lethal explosion on the moon, the world is faced with a “supermutant” with unknown origins, whose very existence threatens the fragile truce that exists between the communities.

From Library Journal

The uneasy balance between normal humans and psychic mutants undergoes a severe test as the appearance of a frighteningly powerful mutant threatens to polarize a world that has just learned to tolerate the "aliens" among them. Continuing the story begun in The Mutant Season (co-authored with Robert Silverberg), Haber blends sf adventure with family saga in an entertaining though somewhat contrived novel. For large libraries only.
