Synopsis: From the back cover of the DAW first US edition: Star death - or cosmic victory? As the Black Current's agent against the powers of the Godmind, Yaleen the Riverwoman has faced death and rebirth to learn the truth about the Godmind's plan to destroy the universe. Yet now, back on her home world, Yaleen's own people refuse to heed her warnings of the terrifying fate which awaits them if the Godmind isn't stopped.
Only her old ally, the Black Current, offers Yaleen the help she so desperately needs. But is the Current truly trying to save humankind? Or does it seek to use Yaleen to destroy the Godmind - and humanity as well?
