From the back cover of the Bantam first edition: "Handsome, successful and fabulously wealthy Peter Cory had always assumed he'd made his own good fortune - until a beautiful woman from a distant world revealed the truth. An ancient alien race had secretly guided his destiny, endowing him with extraordinary abilities. Now he would be taught to use his gifts to confront a malevolent cosmic force that threatened the galaxy. But before he could complete his training, Peter was forced to survive the perils of a deadly planet, armed with only the dawning awareness of his awesome powers."
