Joshua was born a Free U'tanse, one of the few humans not under the claw of the Cerik who ruled the poisonous planet Ko. But after the rescue of the abandoned people of Rikna, it became his job to keep the existence of the refugees secret--putting him at odds with people who couldn't realize that a single stray thought was deadly on a world where telepaths were everywhere.

The U'tanse branch of the Project Saga reveals the struggles of a psychically gifted splinter of humanity, making their way on a world that could never be their own.
