Synopsis: Somewhere the infant god had been born. The ripples of power emanating from the mutant messiah were shaking the complex societies that had mushroomed from the world's ashes. For Tschea, the Red Feather of Ussian, the vibrations of One-Eye meant confrontation with the final meaning of her rites. For Liam of Phadraig, one of the original apostles, the vision meant spreading a psychic plague wherever he wandered. For the Brotherhood of the Zuni Bird, it meant the day had come for the "bird" to sing the redemption of Science. For everyone in the world, the Book of Two-Eyes was to be the testament for the millennium to come. (from the back cover of the DAW Books first edition)
