Description

The first English translation of the famous Golden Age Science Fiction Classic.


"This stunning classic stands shoulder to shoulder with Arthur C. Clarke, Asimov, and Heinlein." – New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear


Tankar Holroy, a lieutenant of the Star Guard of the Earth Empire, drifts in space after the sabotage of his spaceship. Rescued by a vast, unknown ship, he awakens to discover he has been saved by the Star People, who are born and live in space, with minimal contact with planets and their inhabitants, whom they disdainfully call planetaries.


After a cold reception from the ship's leader, Teknor, he faces open hostility from the other inhabitants of Tilsin. Only a woman named Orena approaches him.


Tankar soon realizes he was rescued because of his knowledge of markers, a technology that allows Empire ships to track others through hyperspace, a technology the Star People lack. Out of spite, he refuses to provide the one piece of knowledge that could protect the people who saved him but now reject him – and the consequences will be catastrophic.


FLAME TREE PRESS is the new fiction imprint of Flame Tree Publishing. Launched in 2018, the list focuses on new, brilliant authors and more established ones; award winners and exciting, original voices.


Unique titles and a wide range of authors are the hallmark of Flame Tree Publishing.
