In the 25th century, Tober Cove is a wonderful place to be. With most of Earth1s population long since departed for other planets, and with them the technology that makes such a journey possible, life here is simple and serene -- esp. for Fullin, a gifted musician whose talent commands many times the wages of a farmer or fisherman. But Fullin is 20 years old. And at that age, each person must make the most important decision in life. Ominous winds of change swirl toward Fullin1s idyllic existence, carrying dark secrets that will upend his beliefs, alter his view of reality, and threaten his very life. But for the boy himself, there is no more room for indecision. The time has come to take an irrevocable stand and seal his fate forever. The hour of commitment is here.
