He is is kidnapped by agents of the faction fearing the return of Darius to stop an attempt to bring him to earth to open a trove that Darius left sealed long ago. He escapes and begins a journey that takes him to an asteroid, Triton and Pluto's ,moon.
The feel of the future in this novel is very strange. It draws a picture of technologies which function almost like a magical landscape, which does create a mysterious future, if not quite a believable one. One memorable aspect is the series of floating numbers Daric/Darius sees which enable him to locate himself in space. While the story and action are baroque in the extreme, what this novel lacks is any sense of real danger or of the clashing of 'big ideas'. There is no tension here. A boy grows up as a clone of a man. ( )
