Prometheus Award: Best Novel nominee (1985).
The Childe Cycle, Gordon R. Dickson's future history about the ultimate destiny of humankind, moves toward its exciting conclusion with this latest volume.
In The Final Encyclopedia the human race has split into three
Splinter cultures: the Friendlies, fanatic in their faith; the
truth-seeking Exotics; and the warrior Dorsai. But now humanity is
threatened by the power-hungry Others, whose triumph would end all
human progress.
Hal Mayne is an orphan who was raised by three tutors: an Exotic, a
Friendly, and a Dorsai. He is the only human capable of uniting
humanity against the Others. But only if he is willing to accept his
terrifying destiny... as savior of mankind.
