Plot summary from the back cover of the 1972 Corgi edition
" He awoke to terror. He was in a silver cell and all he could remember was his name... Charlie Johns...
Later they told him he was in Ledom - a country where the people were wise and gentle and kind. They tried to help Charlie Johns but they were... strange...
He could see it in many ways... their clothes, their over-developed pectoral muscles... the curious silky sporrans they all wore. But it wasn't until he noticed two of their men - pregnant - that he realised just how alien a land was Ledom... "
