Generations of a tormented human-alien people, caged on a toxic planet, are conditioned by constant hunger and war. They are subjects of the Dosadi Experiment, which has succeeded too well. For the Dosadi have bred for vengeance as well as cunning, and they have learned how to pass through the God Wall to exact revenge on the Universe that created them. From the author of the classic Dune series.

Santaroga seemed to be nothing more than a prosperous farm community. But there was something different about Santaroga. Santaroga had no juvenile delinquency, or any crime at all. Outsiders found no house for sale or rent in this valley, and no one ever moved out. No one bought cigarettes in Santaroga. No cheese, wine, beer or produce from outside the valley could be sold there. The list went on and on and grew stranger and stranger. Maybe Santaroga was the last outpost of American individualism. Maybe they were just a bunch of religious kooks... Or maybe there was something extraordinary at work in Santaroga. Something far more disturbing than anyone could imagine.
