At the edge of the galaxy lay the Fortress known as Stars' End, a mysterious
planet bristling with deadly automated weapons systems, programmed to slaughter
anyone fool enough to come within range. But who built this strange planet of
death, placing it within view of the Milky Way's great lens... and tantalizingly
close to the hydrogen-filled feeding grounds of the interstellar dragons known
as Starfish and the priceless ambergris they create?
Should the
harvestships of the High Seiners, known as Starfishers, gain control of that
arsenal, they need never fear the Confederation's navy nor the armies of the
human-like Sangaree again. But intelligent life everywhere now needs the might
of Stars' End--and the expertise of agents Mouse Storm and Moyshe benRabi. For
in the midst of the Sangaree wars, a far more sinister enemy approaches, coming
from the depths of the galaxy, in hordes larger than a solar system.
