A mysterious amnesiac is discovered at a distant spaceport. The science of the Alastor Cluster can only ascertain his home planet and culture: he is a Rhune from Marune - Alastor 933. Upon returning home, he finds that he is a powerful landowner whose household is embroiled in a crucial alliance. However, he must uncover which of the scheming nobles is responsible for the destruction of his memory.
Scattered across the star cluster Alastor are about three thousand inhabited planets, home to a human population of perhaps five trillion. The worlds are diverse, as are their inhabitants, though they share a common language and submit to the overlordship of the Connat in Lusz on the world of Numenes. Wyst, the sole moon of the star Dwan, is registered in the Connat's star charts as Alastor 1716 and is renowned throughout Alastor as a coveted utopia, attracting countless individuals. For a century, its inhabitants have lived in absolute equality, minimizing work, sharing all goods, and enjoying unrestricted sexual freedom. Painter Jantiff Ravenstroke travels to Wyst to capture the unique light of the sun Dwan. He painfully discovers the true nature of this "utopia." By chance, he uncovers a murderous conspiracy that puts his life in jeopardy.
Een argeloze toerist komt in grote moeilijkheden als hij een complot ontdekt op een planeet waar iedereen in naam gelijk is.
