Now Shevek, a brilliant physicist, is determined to reunite the two planets, which have been divided by centuries of distrust. He will seek answers, question the unquestionable, and attempt to tear down the walls of hatred that have kept them apart.To visit Urrasto learn, to teach, to sharewill require great sacrifice and risks, which Shevek willingly accepts.
