Overview

In the distant future, mankind has lost its empire, and is enslaved across the galaxy by its former alien subjects. Earth is only a memory lost in mythology. The young human Jory O'Call serves as jester and court poet in the house of the powerful warlord Lord Ramyon. It is a cruel but beautiful culture, reminiscent of feudal Japan or Europe. Oba is a moon forever on the dark side of its planet, a world in perpetual gloom, illumined only by its twin moons and by a fabulous road of glowing lanterns that girdles the entire globe. Oba is one of the galaxy's wealthiest worlds because of its wonderful treasure of fungal growths that serve as perfumes and as medicines for any ills. Jory O'Call and Lord Ramyon's beautiful daughter fall in love and are betrayed by the girl's hideous sister. The result is death sentences for all, and only a grieving Jory O'Call manages to escape. He runs along the Obayyo, the Lantern Road, to the forbidden Free Port of Kusi-O. There, he escapes the Shurian road police and makes his way to the stars for a fabulous adventure "with an ending you will never see coming"
