Summary:
Life in the idyllic paradise of Gandahar seems peaceful and in joyous order until the Mirror Birds report that inhabitants of whole villages have been turned to stone. A council of women chooses Sylvain Lanvère to uncover Gandahar's mysterious metallic attackers. In doing so, he finds an underground race of deformed Gandaharians and an oversized motherbrain, both the result of botched genetic experiments. Since they are from the future, Sylvain puts himself in suspended animation for one-thousand years so thought he can prevent them from destroying the utopian present.
