Fleeing the supernova chain reaction at the galactic core, the cowardly Puppeteers of the Fleet of Worlds have---just barely---survived.ВThey've stumbled from one crisis to the next: The rebellion of their human slaves.ВThe relentless questing of the species of Known Space.ВThe spectacular rise of the starfish-like Gw'oth.ВThe onslaught of the genocidal Pak.В

Catastrophe looms again as past crises return---and converge. Who can possibly save the Fleet of Worlds from its greatest peril yet?

Louis Wu?ВTrapped in the Wunderland civil war, all he wants is to go home---but the only possible escape will plunge him into unknowable danger.В

Ol't'ro? The Gw'oth ensemble mind fled across the stars to establish a colony world free from tyranny.ВBut some problems cannot be left behind, and other problems---like the Fleet of Worlds itself---are racing straight at them.В

Achilles?ВDespite past disgrace, the charismatic Puppeteer politician knows he is destined for greatness.ВHe will do anything to seize power---and to take his revenge on everyone who ever stood in his way.

Nessus?ВThe insane Puppeteer scout is out of ideas, out of resources, with only desperation left to guide him.ВВ

Their hopes and fears, dreams and ambitions are about to collide.ВAnd the winner takes . . . worlds.
