About This Book

The narrative reunites Chet, Walt and Diane after they are seized by their enemy Schwartzmann and forced on a perilous voyage back to a hostile dark moon. High-speed space maneuvers, engine failures and a fiery near-disaster precede a crash landing, after which the group confronts savage, ape-like natives, strange biologies, green gases and a hidden pyramid cult that practices human sacrifice under the control of a mysterious Master. Survival depends on daring escapes, improvised science, and mutual loyalty while allies and a mysterious rescuer tip the balance toward a climactic assault on the alien stronghold.
