Delmak-O is a dangerous planet. Though there are only
fourteen citizens, no one can trust anyone else and death can strike at any
moment. The planet is vast and largely unexplored, populated mostly by
gelatinous cube-shaped beings that give cryptic advice in the form of anagrams.
Deities can be spoken to directly via a series of prayer amplifiers and
transmitters, but they may not be happy about it. And the mysterious building
in the distance draws all the colonists to it, but when they get there each sees
a different motto on the front. The mystery of this structure and the secrets
contained within drive this mind-bending novel.
