Review Summaries
"This final book in the Halfmen of O trilogy sees one of the recently disbanded priests of Ferris forming visions of grandeur. He has discovered the secret of Freeman Wells' ancient weapon. The weapon is a weapon of mass destruction that threatens the very existance of O. His opposition also has the secret of the weapon and between the two of them they threaten to blow O out of existance. Susan's quest is now to venture to Freeman Wells' home in the thousand islands and form two new stone halves for the motherstone. By doing this she will heal the ever declining nature of the halfmen of O."
