Plot Introduction
Mavra Chang has been trapped on the Well World for twenty two years, mutated into a grotesque mockery of her previous identity. The attempt to recover her ship has failed, and the second ship that crashed on the Well World came down in the inaccessible (and inhospitable) Northern Hemisphere. When a possible method of traveling to the Northern Hemisphere is discovered, it ignites a new race between Mavra and her allies on one side, and her enemies on the other. The winner will gain control of the orbiting supercomputer Obie, with the power to manipulate the very fabric of the universe.

Famous quotes containing the words plot and/or introduction:
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“My objection to Liberalism is this—that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind—namely, politics—of philosophical ideas instead of political principles.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
