From the time he was a little boy, David Haddon's scientist father experimented on his son, developing an uncanny advanced "homing instinct" in him. By age twenty David's homing instinct is so finely developed that the elder Haddon medically awakens an "ancestral memory" in David so that he may find "mankind's original home -- somewhere in the stars!" His homing instinct leads David to a distant planet where man's scientific meddling caused evolution to take a different path than on Earth.
