Paul Formain, a young man who has suffered a couple of inexplicable life-threatening accidents is drawn to the Guild after reading their claims of the power of their Alternate Laws - which purportedly includes limb regrowth. I remembered Gordon R Dickson as being an author whose stories I used to enjoy, although it's many years since I've read any, so I was rather disappointed that this one really didn't grab me - although I've no doubt the subtext is supposed to be an allegory for aspects of modern day life, it just didn't interest me enough to want to spend time looking for any deep meaning.

He then gets involved in an organisation that has 'Alternate Laws' they believe in, and tell him he can regenerate his arm. They have plans for him and his talent, they think they can use him as an agent to destroy the technologically assisted utopia they live in, that is still full of problems. http://superprose.blogspot.com/2007/0...

The book is not as engaging as one would hope for the beginning of a powerful series. Dickson's intoduction of the Chantry Guild is, naturally, not as compelling as its later incarnation. The minor characters are two dimentional.
All said, however, the story gives a credible rationale and beginning for the Childe Cycle. (
