The Dumarest saga is a series of science fiction stories by E. C. Tubb. Edwin Charles Tubb (October 15, 1919 -) is a British author, primarily of science fiction. ...
The stories are set in a far future galactic culture that is somewhat fragmented and without any central government. The protagonist, Earl Dumarest, was born on Earth, but had stowed away on a spaceship when he was a young boy. When the story opens in The Winds of Gath, he has travelled so long and so far that he doesn't know how to return to his home planet and no-one has ever heard of it, other than as a myth or legend.
Each story is a self-contained adventure in itself, but throughout the series, Dumarest follows clues and hints to the location of his homeworld. It becomes clear that someone or something has deliberately concealed the Earth's location and the Cyclan, an organization of human beings surgically altered to be emotionless (the better to think logically), seems determined to stop him from finding it. In addition, the Cyclan is seeking a discovery, stolen from it and passed on to Dumarest by the dying thief, which would vastly increase their already considerable power.
