Search Worlds Without End

The classic science fiction trilogy in an omnibus edition. Back in print after two decades!

To the totalitarian state of Oerlikon, change is the most fearsome enemy. So a secret weapon was created to preserve the status quo-the Morphodite. A bioengineered and laboratory-raised super assassin, the Morphodite was designed to scent out and destroy subversive conspiracies. A unique being, it can change its sex, identity, and even its genetic code as a defense. But its creators did not foresee that this untraceable, powerful assassin would morph into a true revolutionary hero-that would turn against the police state that created it.

How do you destroy a conspiracy without making waves? Because every such underground movement has a key person, the subtle way is to remove that keystone and watch the rest of the organization fall apart.

Their world was ultra-conservative, isolated, opposed to change. Their secret police had tried many means to keep it that way. Now they had contrived their cleverest secret weapon. This was a genetically-patterned, laboratory-raised human genius, the Morphodite.

The Morphodite needed no computers to detect the key to any conspiracy -- the know-how was structured into his/her brain. The Morphodite needed no assistance to make a foolproof escape after such an assassination. The know-how was built into his/her body.

But the Morphodite had one defect its "gestapo" parents had not planned. He/she could think for itself And its thoughts were total subversion.

The Morphodite was a genetically constructed genius who had turned the tables on the police state that had created it. Settled down to a man's quiet life, he contemplated a lifetime of doing good in a liberated world... until a vengeance squad wiped out that hope.

Now, again utilizing that unique talent, the young woman who was now the Morphodite, realized that the job could not be finished until the enemies of that planet's society were tracked to their interstellar lair and blasted.

Across the planet she went and finally into outer space in a city-sized starship to a final showdown somewhere between the worlds.

Planet of darkness revolving around a white dwarf sun. Teragon, a world that by all the rules of science had no right to exist, a planet where law and order were an individual matter and only the strong, the quick and the clever could long survive.

This was Demsing's adopted home, the place that had made him all he had become or had it? For Demsing, master of illusion and manipulator of his fellow humans, held within him the deadliest secret in the starways, the secret of the Morphodite and if he ever learned how to unlock this deeply buried knowledge, he could change the entire destiny of his world...
