What is The fifth head of Cerberus : three novellas about?

<br> Back in print for the first time in more than a decade, Gene Wolfe's <i>The Fifth Head of Cerberus</i> is a universally acknowledged masterpiece of science fiction by one of the field's most brilliant writers. <p>Far out from Earth, two sister planets, Saint Anne and Saint Croix, circle each other in an eternal dance. It is said a race of shapeshifters once lived here, only to perish when men came. But one man believes they can still be found, somewhere in the back of the beyond.</p> <p>In <i>The Fifth Head of Cerberus,</i> Wolfe skillfully interweaves three bizarre tales to create a mesmerizing pattern: the harrowing account of the son of a mad genius who discovers his hideous heritage; a young man's mythic dreamquest for his darker half; the bizarre chronicle of a scientists' nightmarish imprisonment. Like an intricate, braided knot, the pattern at last unfolds to reveal astonishing truths about this strange and savage alien landscape.<br> </p>
