The Broken Worlds

Plot

"These are the Broken Worlds... Mars... center of the fractured universe, planet of immortal warlords and cloned warriors, fallen now to the alien invaders. Parmenio... fog-shrouded pleasure planet, playground of the decadent, where anything and anybody could be bought --or stolen. Loei... world of towering peaks, rife with intrigue and danger, rumored hiding place of the fabled fleet of Old Earth. Ynenga... desert planet, home of the bird-like Tu'u, with shifting sands that hide ancient secrets. Viharn... a world divided, where cloud dwellers turn traitor, and those who dwell on the land may hold the key to survival. Attonio Hwin, reluctant messenger. Chance and a beautiful woman have brought him from the steamy streets of Parmenio to the vaulting corridors of a Martian veilship and the scattered settlements of the Galactic Arm. He carries a warning to the hostile inhabitants: The aliens are coming. The Broken Worlds must unite... or die!"--Pg. [4] of cover.
