A dazzling and highly imaginative science fiction adventure by an exciting writer in the genre:- (original cost unmarked). Bjorn risked his life to save them, went against his deepest instincts to guide them through the forest, until he realized his mistake. But when the giants came, they knew nothing of the Upper or Lower Hells - and cared less. He was wise in the ways of his world and was well aware of the lurking, unseen, and unsuspected dangers of his environment. Bjorn, the hunter, was a child of the rainforest that covered Midworld - part of the primitive society that the tree planet had sustained for hundreds of years. Four lay below, the Seventh and deepest being the Lower and True Hell, where in a perpetually dark swamp, mindless abominations crawled, swam and ate. The two Levels above reached to a sun-bleached green roof and the Upper Hell. Mankind, the persons, preferred the Third Level, as did the furcots. There were seven levels to the forest world, and each spawned botanical and zoological life which existed in a precarious natural balance.
