But now, Earth trembles on the brink of extinction, threatened by another alien species, and only Muller can rescue the planet. Men must enter the murderous maze of Lemnos, find Muller, and convince him to come back.
Will the homeless alien, alone in the universe, risk his life to save his race the race that has utterly rejected him?
Download Description
As the first human to interact with an intelligent alien species, Richard Muller learned almost nothing during his year-long visit to the home planet of the strange, silent Hydrans. At the end of his mission, Muller discovers that the Hydrans secretly altered his mind to radiate his emotions to any human who comes near. He quickly learns from his friends and companions that experiencing the horrifying reality of a human soul invariably induces revulsion and despair. Rejected from society, Muller renounces his allegiance to the human race and isolates himself as the only being ... human or alien ... to successfully navigate the hidden death-traps into the center of the abandoned city of Lemnos. After nine years of contented solitude, a bitter and cynical Muller watches as a human crew arrives at the gate of the city and attempts to penetrate the maze. He is not aware that their mission to end his self-imposed isolation is more than the rescue of one man, it is a desperate attempt to rescue the fate of mankind.
