The paradise plot

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. 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.
