Publisher's summary
The Mind's Eye (A Three-Part Story)
This is a warning to all space farers. You must keep away from this planet. It's hostile, repeat, hostile.

In a distant galaxy, Erimem leads a troubled empire.
Back on Earth, Peri tells her son about the good old days when she used to travel with a man called the Doctor.
