ISSUE NOTES -
It is many centuries since the people of Kensho became followers of the Way. The meaning of their founder Nakamura's koan (To be free, a man must follow the Way that leads to the place where he dwelt before he was born) is no longer a mystery. It is this wisdom which enabled the colonists to mind-blast Earth's scout ship eight years ago and send it limping home in disgrace
But now the entire Earth Fleet is returning for a final assault. What can the swordmasters and the men of wisdom do against such an armada - armed with the most awesome weaponry in the galaxy? The old answers are inadequate. To save themselves and their planet, the men and women of Kensho must abandon the Way. They must enter the void. They must, each one, become a Wanderer
