Synopsis

It was coming. A wave of deep, blasting heat swept through him. Then it was gone. He was running down a long corridor of twisting, writhing flames that flung his body about and tore at him with tangible fingers.

He was glowing, burning, every fiber of him, with an incandescent blaze that would have blinded ordinary eyes.

But he was not ordinary. He was a god in an inferno of light, a great bubble of it that swept him on and on through the reaches of space and eternity, aeons beyond Kronweld. Waves flung him from one end of the universe to the other... ripping him apart, creating him...

He was alone in infinity, alone in the seething center of the act of birth!


Excerpt

Call me Ketan! Like all my companions in Kronweld I emerged full-grown from the Temple of Birth. My needs, my wishes, my passions were coldly filed in the perforated transparencies that constitute the integrated will of Kronweld. But I alone harbor curiosity about our past. I alone know the Bors of Dark Land and how they are born. I alone have discovered the hidden secret of our birth... and have heard the groaning fertility prisoners of the other world. Here is their "If any of you live, come through to us. Save us. Bring weapons!" I am going to them now. I do not know whether I will ever return form the great Edge...
