There is another city, Lys, whose people have remained close to nature. For Alvin, this discovery is the first step in a journey that will take him to the stars - and to the truth about the universe.In Benford's sequel Alvin's discoveries have led to a renaissance; man is reclaiming the Earth. But along with creativity, evil has returned to Earth . . .
