Verrons, the interstellar explorer, is
infected with the dread "bloodblos-
sore" disease, and exiled to a quar-
antine planet. But Verrons is not the
kind of man to stay quietly in a de-
pressing little colony of dying men and
other humanoids. Together with Wells,
a human from the ice-planet Talberon,
and Tiehl, a bird-man alien, he strikes
out across the surveyed-but-unex-
plored wilderness of the planet. All of
them are cynical about the prospects
of a cure and determine to live or die on
their own.
They discover a decadent tribe of
alien humanoids and, further on, the
ruins of a marvelous, once-great city,
where they must escape the posses-
sive spirits of the now-dead ancients,
which take hold of them through the
medium of musical, flutelike instru-
ments. Tiehl in the meantime reverts to
the primitive instincts of his winged
ancestors and clain s the highest tower
in the city as his perch.
Aleida, one of the primitive survivors
of the great race, has followed the
party to the city and there learns of her
heritage. She has within herself the
potential to wield enormous mental
powers and energies that will allow her
to control solar waves by an act of will.
