Paradise in the year 2000 or an eternity of Hell? Welcome to Island One, the first human colony in space, man's boldest thrust into the heavens, the last hope of an over-burdened Earth. Meet Harry Porter, ace newsman, as he uncovers the lurid truth behind Island One - the black secret of its past, mounting hysteria in the face of ritualistic mass murder, a desperate power game for survival - and the Children of Light, deadly mutants with telepathic tentacles that probe human minds and turn the hope of the future into an orgy of terror.
