In the two-hundred years that passed after its discovery, the majority of the human race emigrated there. The questions till remained - who built Orbitsville and why. For Garry Dallen back on the semi-deserted Earth this was to become the ultimate answer to his personal quest for vengeance - a quest which took him across space to confront a cosmic enigma.
