Synopsis: Deep within the dark recesses of Trama Mountain lives a mysterious being who holds the vast knowledge of ages past, and the powers of the glorious Golden Age. Yet he is alone; the sole survivor of that time which died with the failing suns. Trapped in an eon that is not his own, Ophir is now challenged for dominance - and indeed survival - by the youthful soldier, Glamiss Warleader. Their struggle for supremacy means control not only of the planet Vyka... but of destiny itself. (from the back cover of the Ace Books first edition)
