Reubin Flood, the most wanted man in the history of the Federation of Planets, is one of the few remaining survivors of "Olde Earthe," as it's now called. He's also the most dangerous human alive, when he finds himself cornered on an agricultural planet named Snister. Reubin has vowed to destroy the company world government, after his wife is murdered; but to do so, he has to find some way of controlling the alternate personality that lurks deep in his subconscious--Habu, a primeval berserker of inhuman proportions, whose only purpose is to kill, maim, and destroy. Every major law enforcement agency in the Galaxy has been hunting "Habu" for centuries, following the massacre of another world's entire population. As the forces gather against Reubin/Habu, each of his intertwined personalities must learn to live with the other if they're both going to survive. Another stunning SF adventure by a major science-fiction talent, now available for the first time in two decades.
