Synopsis: From the back cover of the Ace first printing: ""I am a womb-man, and my womb is space!"
Lila was one of those who could, by diving deep, deep within herself, emerge in outer space. The few who could make that journey were honored above all other mortals; already the secrets brought back by the mind-travelers hand transformed Earth from the pig-sty of the 21st century to the paradise of the 22nd. But Lila was to learn something besides which the secrets brought back by previous psychic astronauts would pale to insignifance - she was to learn the Truth... and it would not make men free."
