The Paradise Plot — Ed Naha

PARADISE IN THE YEAR 2000....
Welcome to Island One, the first human colony in space, man's boldest thrust into the heavens, the last hope of an over-burdened Earth.

....OR AN ETERNITY OF HELL?
Meet Harry Porter, ace newsman, as he uncovers the lurid truth behind Island One -- the black secret of its past, mounting hysteria in the face of ritualistic mass murder, a desperate power game for survival -- and the Children of Light, deadly mutants with telepathic tentacles that probe human minds and turn the hope of the future into an orgy of terror.
