Wealder is weary--of people; of modern society; of everything. Joining the army for its promise of seeing the "empty places of the world," he's found only frustration and disillusionment where he hoped to find peace. The service has become a prison, and he's searching for a way out. He sees a recruitment poster offering just the escape he needs: a position as forest ranger on a distant planet, promising peace and isolation. Forester can't apply fast enough. Arriving on Safun, he takes to his new role with gusto, exulting in the tranquillity and freedom the wilderness offers. But he soon learns that even this far from civilization things aren't always as serene as they seem to be.
