Greene’s World is way out in the Rim, among the most remote of colonized worlds, and far from the laws of Earth deep in the Core. So it would seem that open revolution is the only choice for those humans who wish to stop the exploitive and inhumane practices of the Rim Charter Trade Company toward the native intelligence, the amphibious ranid. But as we soon learn, opposition to the Rimmers goes even deeper than expected. André Deschênes is a hired killer for the Rimmers, but he wants out of the business. His goal is to learn the fine art of probability manipulation, as practiced by folks known as “conjurers.” When Deschênes assassinates Lucienne Spivak, an agitator who has come into possession of information damaging to the Rim Corporation from sources unknown, he is surprised to find he gets his chance. Lucienne’s conjurer lover, Jean Gris, decides, instead of the expected act of vengeance, to train Deschênes in the art of conjuring and bring him over to their side, as it were.
