Never defend a Screamer! That was the cardinal rule of the household, andwhen Jannus made that mistake, it meant that he, too, would be hunted to thedeath!

Jannus was all-human, a young man, dedicated to the service of his hold -before the pursuit of the Screamer began.

Poli heard the psychic scream best, for she was not entirely human, awarrior-girl of the aboriginal race, doing her service at the household.She, too, was forced to join the Screamer's flight.

And the Screamer? What was he? A small boy? A monstrous tiger? An inhuman robotic mind run from a forgotten mechanical master computer? Or the last king of lost Kantmorie?
