Now in ebook for the first time, the second book of Clayton's classic sci-fi trilogy

The price of a world's death was extremely high, but Ginbiryol Seyirshi would give any buyer his money's worth. Creator of Limited Editions, "productions" in which entire populations became unwilling actors in planet-devastating wars, Seyirshi had once held Shadith captive. But now she and her comrades are free from Seyirshi's control, and they have sworn to track down the monster and put an end to his evil works.

But Seyirshi has made many enemies in his long career and long ago learned how to protect himself from those in search of vengeance. To stop the world-wrecker, Shadith will first have to find him. And now she and her comrades have found the perfect bait: Wargun, one of Seyirshi's devoted "customers". But before they can carry out their real mission, they have to capture Wargun. And even with Shadith's unique talents, this first challenge may prove almost as impossible as catching Seyirshi himself...
