From the age of two, Sir John Averill had lived in the sea, where kindly dolphins raised him to manhood.
Known to a few humans as Triton, the dolphin man could never become fully accustomed to living on land and fled away to his underwater home whenever the need impelled him.
But here he could not live either. For now that he had known man and the ways of man he needed more than the companionship of dolphins.
Now at last there were two creatures like himself – if only he could keep them alive long enough to grow up!
