David was ready to leave Waknuk society and his home because his life was at risk.
David is what Waknuk society would call a "deviant." His genetic structure is a far enough deviance from the norm that Waknuk society would purge his DNA from the gene pool. The society would do this by either killing him or banishing him to the Fringes.
Throughout the first half of the novel, David and his fellow deviants have been able to hide the fact that they have telepathic abilities. Unfortunately, their secret doesn't stay hidden, and David and his friends are forced to flee from Waknuk society. The Waknuks are not content with simply letting David and the group escape. The Waknuks, led by David's father, pursue David's group all the way into the Fringes. It is there that a big battle occurs, and David and his friends are rescued by the Sealand people.
