First book in a saga spanning about four volumes. Each world is covered in one book.

Protagonist of the series is sort of a secret agent. He infiltrates a once alien-ruled planet – now settled by humans – to see what is going on.

He finds out.

It’s a great series. The seeds of that greatness are in the genes of this book just like the others in the series.

Each world has a novel twist making it different than the others. Yet at the same time, the difference between them is because of something they have in common. Read the books and learn the answer to the riddle of the Four Lords of the Diamond.

Chalker’s worlds are intricate, detailed – but by no means boring. Everything is about action, tension …and surprises. You will be entertained and you will not be bored.
