요약
소설은 다른 세계의 대학에서 공부한 후 고향 행성인 포익테스메로 돌아온 주인공 콘 맥스웰을 중심으로 전개된다. 포익테스메는 체제 전쟁 당시 군사 전초기지였으며 이후 쇠퇴하고 있어 경제적으로 어려움을 겪고 있다. Conn의 아버지는 다른 정착민들과 함께 전쟁 후 남겨진 군사 장비의 은닉처를 찾아 행성 경제를 활성화하기를 희망한다.
Conn은 전쟁 중에 제작되었으며 Poictesme에 숨겨져 있는 것으로 추정되는 Merlin이라는 전설적인 슈퍼컴퓨터의 존재에 대해 배웠다고 밝힌다. 전설에 따르면 멀린은 엄청난 지식을 갖고 있으며 미래의 사건을 계산하고 예측하는 능력을 가지고 있다고 전해지고 있다. 정착민들은 멀린을 찾는 것이 그들의 문제를 해결하고 지구에 번영을 가져올 수 있다고 믿는다.
멀린을 찾는 일은 일련의 모험, 정치적 음모, 경제 발전을 촉발하고, 등장인물들은 버려진 군사 기지를 탐험하고 다양한 도전에 맞서면서 전쟁과 멀린, 그리고 그들 자신에 대한 진실도 발견하게 된다. 이 이야기는 기술이 사회에 미치는 영향, 지식 추구, 전쟁의 결과, 인간 정신의 회복력과 같은 주제를 다루고 있다.

Summary
The novel revolves around the protagonist, Con Maxwell, who returns to her home planet of Foik Tesme after studying at a university in another world. Poiktesme was a military outpost during the Regime War and has since declined and is experiencing economic difficulties. Conn's father, along with other settlers, hopes to stimulate the planet's economy by finding a cache of military equipment left behind after the war.
Conn reveals that he learned about the existence of a legendary supercomputer called Merlin, which was built during the war and is believed to be hidden in Poictesme. According to legend, Merlin is said to have tremendous knowledge and the ability to calculate and predict future events. The settlers believe that finding Merlin can solve their problems and bring prosperity to Earth.
The search for Merlin sparks a series of adventures, political intrigue, and economic development, as the characters explore abandoned military bases and face various challenges while discovering truths about the war, Merlin, and themselves. The story addresses topics such as the impact of technology on society, the pursuit of knowledge, the consequences of war, and the resilience of the human spirit.
