In Starry Nova, Skerow, a telepathic alien judge, lonely and working far from her home planet, sees an amphibious human enslaved and displayed in a tank as an ad for a pleasure house. She resolves to investigate and do something about this illegal enslavement. But not long after her investigation begins, a fellow judge is found murdered. So begins a story of superscience, slavery, murder and justice, in the distant future.

"Overinvolved but unflinching with a splendid array of aliens, motives, and perversions."

Kirkus, 11/15/1997

"[The novel's] denouement relies upon something of a deux ex machina. While this might have ruined a lesser novel, Gotleib presents her trick-of-the-tail so gracefully that it appears to be as much impediment as intervention. Those who glory in poetic phrasings for their own sake may wax rhapsodic, while the rest of us will remember 'Flech and Gold' as ambitious, if occasionally overwrought."
