Earth...After Wormwood...
Centuries from now, a world invaded the the all-powerful Nobodoi and their servant races, re-made as a strange and mighty patchwork of land-bridges and alien enclaves, where the remnants of a blasted Humanity are lucky just to survive.

The Human Heroes
Aspen Dirk, Jamis Talby, Hollis Green, the mad poet Antelim...those who travel the patchwork, who meet the Hoproi warmasters, the gleaming Matta whose houses Kill, the Darzie mind-rider, the living spaceships, the Amazi, whose greatest longing is to couple with Human women...

All part of what the world has become...after Wormwood.
