Summary: Darkover ... from the Terran point of view
Review: Larry Montray is a Terran boy who befriends a Darkovan boy, Kennard Alton. Together, they are thrown into an adventure that requires each learn about the other ... and in the process learn more about Terra *and* Darkover...Jeff Kerwin is a Terran orphan who remembers Darkover in an odd way ... the more he remembers, the stranger he seems to be. Is he 'Jeff Kerwin' ... or the son of a leronis who fulfilled the promise of the Forbidden Tower? Finally, the adult Larry Montrey journeys through the sky-raping Hellers in an attempt to save the Storn family... Each story tells the efforts of Earth-humans to reconcile what they *think* they know about Darkover when actually plunged into the planet's culture ... to learn that there is more to Darkover than its 'primitive' appearance, and that 'superstitions' can be based on more than mere myth. Finding out the differences -- and similarities -- in the types of people on the planet is only the start of the journeys of discovery, through the divided world that is Darkover!
