Full Description
Russ Tabor is one of the top security specialists in the galaxy. Much
against his will, he finds himself assigned to
provide protection for Rupert
Medawar Narayan Shenoy—"Lord Shenoy," as he likes to style
himself—who is
probably the human race's most brilliant savant.
Shenoy has become convinced that the race of ancient aliens known as the Old
Ones possessed powers unknown to any modern intelligent species. He believes
they had harnessed forces which may well have been actual magic, giving the Old
Ones the stature of gods.
Off Russ and Shenoy go to find the secret.
Meanwhile, Occo, a member of the alien race known as the Nac Zhe
Anglan,
returns to her religious creed's home cloister to find that it has been
completely destroyed—and by means
which suggest that the Old Ones were
the perpetrators. Yet the Old Ones, those ancient and inimical gods of
the
galaxy, were thought to have perished eons before. Occo is not a savant
of any kind. She is a shaman castigant, a warrior of her creed. Her purpose now
is to seek revenge, not to uncover the secrets of the Old Ones. But she cannot
do the one without first doing the other. So, she and her familiar Bresk set
ought to track down those long-gone deities.
Now human adventures and an
alien shaman are on a collision course with the truth: despite their many
differences, only if they unite their forces do they stand any chance of
surviving the coming encounter with the gods of Sagittarius.
