About the Book
YOUNG BLEYS is the newest volume in Gordon R. Dickson's masterpiece, "The Childe Cycle," a future history that has been thrilling readers for more than three decades.
By the workings of chance Bleys Ahrens was born the genetic equal of
Hal Mayne, the hero of The Final encyclopedia, but he was destined by
nurture to a far different fate. Raised alone by his unhappy Exotic
mother, Bleys was an outcast from every society until his half-brother
Dahno claimed him.
Disciplined by Friendlies, schooled by
Exotics, Dahno was beginning to build an interplanetary network of
half-breeds, who called themselves "Others." But Dahno thought only of
gaining wealth and power for himself; Bleys saw an opportunity to
challange the Dorsai for control of the Human Worlds.
