Man of Two Worlds
Guild Publishing 1986 Hardcover, 320pp. On the distant planet Dreenor live the most powerful and influential species in the Galaxy. Alone among intelligent lifeforms, Dreens possess the power of idmaging': turning their thoughts into actual solid objects, both inert and alive. The most accomplished Dreens can create whole worlds, using them as the basis for the Storytelling which is Dreenor's most popular art form and the core of its civilization. The most popular stories concern that wild planet with its incontrollable inhabitants, Earth . One faction of Dreens would like to see Earth erased, for everybody's benefit; but the problem only becomes acute when it appears that humans are about to discover the secret of interstellar travel, with the attendant possibility that they might turn up uninvited on Dreenor. Meanwhile a young Dreen, Ryll, on an unauthorized jaunt to Earth, is involved in a collision with an experimental spaceship and, badly injured, is forced to use his idmaging talent to merge bodies with an Earthman. Their minds, however, remain distinct, and Ryll finds himself manoeuvring for control against the wily Lutt Hanson Jr, scion of an industrial empire, and reckless adventurer. dj good.
