Science-fiction adventure by [[Andre Norton]]. Andas Kastor regains self-awareness on a barren prison planet where he has been incarcerated by unknown entities for unknown reasons. A power failure frees him and several companions. When they compare notes, they discover that they were all involved in critical time-sensitive situations - in different years. They also discover that the prison planet includes highly advanced technology which appears to be for creating [[Ridiculously -Human Robots|android duplicates of beings of various races]], and speculate that they may have been kidnapped in order to be duplicated and replaced. {{spoiler|The real explanation may be far more sinister, see [[Wild Mass Guessing]].}}
 
The ill-assorted comrades find a ship with navigation tapes for various planets, including Andas' home world of Inyanga. After a series of planet-hopping adventures, including some double-crosses and a few losses, Andas and his companions make it, only to find that the current ruler is...Andas Kastor, decades older and with three daughters. And then [[It Gets Worse|things really start to get wild....]]
