The Biind Boy and the Mermaid — John Williams

In the city of the blind only the blind boy can see. HIs imagination became fact, sending all with him into a new galaxy and a war between robots and humans, a war only he can end. Yet even the blind boy cannot contain all the forces that could destroy himself and his world. Once his crusade had been launched, fate threatened to eliminate the only human ever born who could alter it, and the blind boy's life would become a trading chip in the galaxy's grand gamble.
