| Omschrijving | Essef - They built a city, dumped some colonists - and left, never to return. A hundred years later, the entire population of that planet was still crowded into one all-enclosed, self-functining city. For the majority the situation was like living forever in the steerage section of an immigrant freighter. For a few, there were some privileges. For the "Highs," power and luxury had been secured by a change of language and the destruction of the old books.
If they could get Outside, and locate the machine which had built their city - if they could read and understand the instructions - if the machine still even functioned - then new cities could be built, the population could be spread out, and the true colonization of the new world could begin. There was one man, only one, left alive who could read and understand the Original Language. His name was Ryne, and the struggle to keep him alive while the search for the machine progresses is a tale of constant terror. |
