THE WEB WAS GOD, JUSTICE AND INFALLIBILITY—FOR EVERYONE. EXCEPT...In this extragalactic society many people had Websets, for the Web was literally the mind of the universe. Grailer was a Webspinner, one of the handful of extraordinary people who could manipulate the Web, and thus he was a space outlaw, forever hunted by the black knights of CIRCE.But an even crueler penalty for the Webspinners was the Geisthounds, inhuman nightmares lurking within the system, ready to pounce at one unlucky spin of the Web.Grailer saw the Geisthounds murder his lover. Now he would never stop seeking until he found the answers he needed...until he discovered the knowledge that would be both agony and exhilaration.
