Synopsis

He is young and intelligent and highly trained. He is Erik Baanfeld-shipwrecked on a long-forgotten Colony world, where brawn and brute strength are more valued than knowledge. Physically untrained, and emotionally unprepared in the barest skills of survival, he seems compelled to spend a short and very unpleasant life as a half-naked savage worked like a beast of burden, on a world so sunk into barbarism that its inhabitants have no concept of the wheel. It's either that-or die! His only possible chance, his only hope of becoming one with the Folk, is to become a singer-and not just any singer, but a Singer of Lies!
