This Nebula Award-nominated "work of awesome originality" (Robert Silverberg) is a mind-blowing exploration of telepathy and power on an Earth-like planet. Earthman Jai Vedh was on a star voyage when his ship blew up, leaving him stranded on an uncharted Earth-like planet. In this strange new land, he's amazed to discover a colony of humans who lost contact with their home world centuries before. They've developed telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation-and structured a sophisticated social system out of these abilities. Under the tutelage of a female mentor named Evne, Jai Vedh begins to develop his own mental powers. But when an unexpected rescue arrives, the Earth he returns to is nothing like he remembered ... Wildly imaginative, wholly original, and boldly experimental in form, And Chaos Died "is a spectacular experience to undergo" (Samuel R. Delany).
