On Angado's planet, there was a man who knew the whereabouts of the lost Earth, the original planet of mankind.
Angado himself was a fellow traveler of Earl Dumarest, the man who had been born on Earth and who sought the way to go home. Because they were comrades in arms, Angado would help Earl find that man - for a price. For Angado was returning to a complex of high-tech cunning and high-wealth power...the prodigal son against whom all would plot. The Cyclan, who had put a fabulous price on Dumarest's head, also were closing in. With Angado for a leader and the red-robed fiends for followers, Dumarest was still willing to stick it out to the bitter end. For his priceless reward could be the key to Forgotten Terra.
