The crew have a problem on the world Bear was from (book one: Flight of the Maita). There is interference that leads to a band of escaped criminals. Critic comment:
A rather strange tale. I couldn't decide if it was one I liked, but it intrigued me.
The development of characters was done quite well, and one decided whether or not they were likeable quickly. The golems were fun, and reminded me of couples I know. Kurk has been described...
