About This Item
Garden City, New York: Nelson Doubleday, 1980. Book Club (BCE/BOMC). Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8x5x1. Book club edition. Jacket edges lightly rubbed with a minor tear. Page ridges lightly foxed. 1980 Hard Cover. 312 pp. The constellation of Hyrdi, known as the Serpent, is compact and obscure from Earth and remained so in the era of interstellar colonization. For it was under strict quarantine -- harboring an intelligent race, powerful and alien. Yet there were human colonies within the Serpent's Reach, cut off from the galaxy beyond, with their own inbred culture, and their special relationships to the inhuman MAJAT. This is the novel of Raen, the last of the massacred Sui Family, and her lifetime pledge to find vengeance. It was to take her across the worlds of the Reach into the very center of the alien webwork that knit the forbidden constellation into a complex of interbred cultures that no outsider could hope to unravel.
