Publisher's Synopsis
Arriving by mistake on the planet Kabatron, Kroom the space barbarian and his nefarious companion Lod Jovis discover a world riven by hostility.
A scientific expedition races against time to create a transmat device that will revolutionise interplanetary travel. But the native insectoids seem intent on sabotaging their efforts. And a mysterious malaise is crippling off-worlders and natives alike. Will Cojana and her fellow scientists succeed in creating instantaneous space travel? Will the Kabatrons destroy the transmitter? And will Lod Jovis and Kroom rescue the scientists from their alien enemies? Or has their shaky alliance now reached its end?
