(2) YA Jamie describes his discovery of mysterious hooded figures playing a game. After being told he is "now a discard," Jamie is catapulted out of his world and compelled to wander through a series of other worlds. In this welcome reissue, the author combines elements of science fiction, folklore, and mythology to create a fantasy with overtones of allegory.
