New York Times bestselling author Alan Dean Foster, master of both action and emotion, reveals a world where everything is perfect, but nothing is as it seems ...
Earth is crowded, polluted, and dismal.
Like millions of others, Jonos and Liina scrape by on her poorly paying job and what little money he gets selling items scavenged from rich people's trash.
Like millions of others, Jonos and Liina dream of Paradise.
Paradise: a beautiful, clean, verdant world where three races live in harmony--at least, according to the videos sent back to Earth. There are the Eiquan, masters of astonishing technology; the Lusanata, hunters and farmers; and humans, who may be restricted to a few scattered settlements, but still live a life ten times better than those on Earth.
On the run after a criminal act, Jonos and Liina finally escape to Paradise.
It's everything they hoped for.
Until tragedy strikes.
