The Muskies - spawned in Earth's long childhood of fire and stone, they flourish in the stinking hell Man calls 'civilisation'. They ride the wind: gaseous beings, perceptible to Man only now that a monstrous experiment has heightened his sense of smell and destroyed civilisation in the process. And so a slow, destructive war erupts between the Muskies and the scattered settlements of human survivors, a war which will threaten humanity's existence. Only the Telempath can stop it, but he's missing an arm - and is wanted for the murder of his father. Cover art by Peter Jones.
