Chapter 13 Summary

Presteign, Dagenham and Y'ang-Yeovil begin deconstructing Fourmyle's Circus and questioning all of his employees in their hunt for PyrE. Kempsey dies from injuries related to his condition and the acceleration Foyle travels at.

Foyle travels to Mars and kidnaps Sigurd Magsman. Sigurd is a 70 year old child telepath, the strongest on Mars. Foyle takes him with him to the Skoptsy Colony. Those who enter the Skoptsy Colony do so voluntary and submit to a surgery that severs their sensory nervous system. They live out their days without speech, sound, sight, smell, touch or taste. Foyle forces Sigurd to ask Joyce the questions he wants to know—why did she give the orders to space the refugees and abandon him. Sigurd learns that Joyce did not give the order. The man-child wants to go home, but Foyle forces him to continue.
