Previous owner's sticker & name to inside front cover page:- Synopsis: Gath - a harsh, cruel planet of little value except as an intergalactic tourist attraction, where visitors from many worlds come to experience for themselves the annual period of storms. For legend has it that, in the eerie storms which sweep the mountains of Gath, the dead arise and speak. To Gath comes Dumarest, interplanetary traveller, a man with a strange past and a threatening future. To Gath, also, come the old Matriarch of the planet Kund, with her beautiful ward Shena Thoth and her dangerous emotionless adviser Cyber Dyne, servant of the Cyclan. And the sadist Prince Emmened, with his retinue of fearful followers. And around them in their mountain camps, the collection of idlers, criminals and plotters which the gatherings on Gath invariably attract. The lives and fortunes of these characters mingle and interweave to make a dramatic, suspenseful story of the future:- (original cost 25'). Seller Inventory # 22.095.00020
