The Sixth Discipline: 1 (Haven)

Ran-Del Jahanpur is a warrior of the Sansoussy Forest trained in both the mental and physical Disciplines of his people. He thinks hes prepared for any danger the forest might hold but his skills prove useless when hes caught in a hi-tech trap. Soon Ran-Del finds himself in a city so alien it might as well be another world-machines speak vehicles fly and his captors weapons can inflict pain without touching him. Every time Ran-Del tries to escape hes foiled by a technology he doesnt understand. As terrifying as the city is his kidnapper the enigmatic Baron Hayden exudes a jovial affability that worries the Sansoussy even more. What can such a powerful man want with a Sansoussy warrior who can neither read nor write and knows nothing of city ways? The Barons daughter Francesca clearly knows more than shes saying but Ran-Dels psy sense tells him only shes being truthful not what shes thinking. And its only after it seems that Ran-Del has escaped the city and its dangers that he finds out how thoroughly he has been caught.
