Dust jacket has small tears at top of spine, edge wear and chipping. The Vim are taking over the universe. For the mutated races of human and alien who fight them off, the end of history seems only a few centuries away. The computer which knoweth all things has nearly predicted it, but then a plan for the ultimate weapon forms in the mind of a Deek council member. Out of the wildly incompatible genes of mankind, a superman can be fashioned to stave off the swarms of Vim raiders. Jelk is crossed with Evo,and Eshom with Ungul, and then the offspring with each other to produce --- I, Weapon.
