From back cover: In the vastness of space there are millions of worlds like our own, each with its own version of humanity. At the dawn of time, the godlike Makers created the Bright, a gleaming roadway between the stars, linking all these earthlike worlds. Millions of years later, the Wanderers set out upon the Bright to find the Makers. Drawn from countless worlds, they come to save each planet from self-destructio and unite all of humankind in a common destiny. But far down the Bright wait the unFound, a ruthless, warlike race bent upon conquest. Torn apart by treachery and betrayal, the Wanderers are powerless to stop them.
Now the outcome of all human history rests in the hands of an earth man masquerading as a Wanderer, who must put aside his own selfish goals to avert a shattering catastrophe.
