Summary
After a spaceship crashes into the planet Tonath, the lone occupant survives and fights his way to the sunlit part of the planet.
When a passing freighter finds him and takes him to the Western Starshift Institute of the Way, he finds the teacher. Tonath is a planet torn apart by the forces of nature, and only the teacher can predict the movement of the stars and interpret the prophecies.
But will the teacher be able to recognize true man and true foe in time to save Tonath from a thousand years of burning?

Wonderful Sci-Fi story
I really enjoyed this well written Sci-Fi story, it was the first Mari Collier book that I have listened to and it won't be the last. The storyline was interesting and kept me engaged until the very end, I can't wait to listen to the next installment.
A special mention goes to the excellent narration by Sean Duregger.

Who am I?
The lone traveller with two hearts wakes with the realisation that his space ship is in trouble before it disintegrates, and, waking a second time, finds himself in a strange, foul smelling world of green. Pursued by green men and struck on the head, he wakes once more, this time to find himself tended by a doctor in a type of monestary, the world no longer green but normal. He had been unconscious for at least two weeks and, slowly recovering, finds he no longer has any memories. He is on Tonath, ruled over by the Teacher who accepts him, names him Loren and sees that he is cared for and educated in the Way. The story follows Loren's life on this pre industrialized planet.
This was an excellent start to a novel but, unfortunately for this reader, despite the character of Loren totally dominating the story, he seemed a two dimensional character and, moreover, an unlikable one. The almost wild West setting was similarly off putting and I struggled to stay focused on the progress of our hero as scenes tended to jump about on the linear timeline. The Teacher's quest for the.one True Man, as opposed to the True Foe, whose identity was believed to save or destroy the planet, was far more interesting but, sadly, much less prominent.
The book was, otherwise, well written and, mostly, well read by Sean Duregggar, whose performance is well paced and modulated, with individual voicings for the numerous characters, though occasionally, especially towards the end, these voices seem to become muddled. Regretfully, I have to admit this was not a book for me: vast potential but not a story which grabbed and maintained my interest after the initial chapters, more like fantasy than science fiction. There is obviously going to be a continuing series but I doubt that I will continue with it, although I am sure the book will appeal to many readers. My thanks, however, to the rights holder of Man, True Man, who, at my request freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. And I just commend the stunning cover.
