Trapped by his possible pasts and futures, could Aton free himself—and the Universe—from Chthon? He was Aton-Five, half breed cross between standard human stock and the forbidden Minionettes, beings who thrived on sexual cruelty and to whom love was the deadliest poison. For unpardonable crimes, he had been sentenced to the prison world of no return‘Chthon! And there he and countless others had died. But death could not free Aton from his destiny.

And only in the hell that was Chthon could he find his own possible redemption—and that of all organic life!
