Product Description
Product Description
The 21st century was drawing to a close, and metapsychic humankind was poised at last to achieve Unity -- to be admitted into the group mind of the already unified alien races of the Galactic Milieu. But a growing corps of rebels was plotting to keep the people of Earth forever separate in the name of human individuality. And the rebels had a secret supporter: Fury, the insane metapsychic creatrue that would stop at nothing to claim humanity for itself. Fury's greatest enemy was the mutant genius Jack the Bodiless, whose power it craved. But Jack would never be a tool for Fury . . .
And so it turned to Dorothea Macdonald, a young woman who had spent a lifetime hiding her towering mindpowers from the best mind readers of the Milieu. But she could not hide them from Fury -- or from Jack. Time and again she rejected their advances, unwilling to be drawn into the maelstrom of galactic politics or megalomaniacal dreams. And in the end, no one -- not Jack, not Fury, not even the Galactic Milieu -- would be a match for the awesome powers of the girl who would come to be called Diamond Mask . . .
From the Paperback edition.

What can I say about this work? Julian Mays Saga of the Exiles, Intervention and Galactic Milieu triolgy are simply the greatest sci-fi/fantasy behind Tolkien! And im a huge Tolkien fan so that really is a great compliment!
Diamond Mask may not be the greatest in the series but it is much better thanmost other books out there!
Format:Paperback
one of the best sci fi books of all time but read the series in order for the best result

This is one of those book thats very hard to put down. It is teh first one I got of the series, beacuse I liked the misterious introduction.
The plot is very well developed, and anyone who has read the "Intervention" will greatly sympathise with the characters, like Denise and Lucille, who appear in all of the books.
Although the author reveals the culminating points of teh book early in the beginning, it makes it more interesting to re-read and trace how individual characters develop.
This book is definetely worth your time, along with the other ones in the series, and they thefinetely deserve a grand place on a bookshelf.
