_There were only six human beings_--
DR. CHRISTOPHER WRIGHT, anthropologist--he believed in man's
basic goodness ... but could he put his trust in an alien
race?
PAUL MASON--he dutifully shared his wife with his best
friend.
DOROTHY LEEDS--Paul was her husband, but she knew there were
some things more important than love.
SEARS OLIPHANT--the gentle scientist who inspired love in an
alien.
ANN BRYAN--the youngest of them all, she had to be taught
violence and passion.
EDMUND SPEARMAN--the rebel who had to have his own tribe to
rule ... even though it meant war with his Earth companions.
_Six humans alone against the deadly forces of a strange and
distant planet._
