Stars End Starfishers Trilogy

the Fortress On The Edge Of The Galaxy Was Called Stars' End, A Planet Build For Death, But By Whom? It Lay On The Outermost Arm Of The Milky Way, Silent, Cloaked In Mystery, Self-contained And Controlled, Tantalizingly Close To The Harvesting Starfishers. If They Could Gain Control Of That Arsenal, The Starfishers Need Never Fear The Confederation's Navy Nor The Forces Of The Human-like Sangaree. But Intelligent Life Everywhere Now Needs The Might Of Stars' End - And The Know-how Of Agents Storm And Benrabi. For In The Midst Of The Sangaree Wars, A Far More Sinister Enemy Approaches From The Depths Of The Galaxy, In Hordes As Large As A Solar System. And Its Mission Is Only To Kill! publishers Weekly framed As The Final Book In The Starfishers Series, This Space Opera Is Better Read As The Second Half Of The Preceding Volume, Starfishers. Moyshe Benrabi, Former Confederation Agent From Despised Backwater Earth, Has Abandoned His Old Allegiances, Hoping For A Better Life Among The Starfishers. Unfortunately For Benrabi, Not Only Do The Interstellar Nomads Face A Serious Threat From The Predators Haunting The Spaces Between The Stars, But The Starfishers' Alliance With The Ancient Starfish Has Given The Voyagers A Monopoly On The Material Needed For Interstellar Communication, Which The Confederation Cannot Tolerate. Benrabi's Increasingly Fragile Mental State And Deteriorating Social Network Are Mirrored By The Doom Overshadowing Civilization. Now Nearly 30 Years Old, This Work Is Short By Modern Standards, Giving The Fast-paced Story A Compressed Urgency With Moments Of Genuine Grandeur. (oct.)
