Book Description

Richard Cameron, Frank Johnson, Jack Hasta, and Philippe Stargazer have returned from their incredible adventure in the 51st century, but the Space Star Silver Streak is nevertheless still badly damaged from the terrifying battle with the Hyron Admiral Mordrax and his mighty Terminator battleship. Moreover, Mordrax continues to press the attack. In an attempt to repair the dilapidated starship, Cameron steers the Silver Streak to a long-established French colony in hopes of finding an infrastructure sophisticated enough to help. What our stalwart heroes find is completely unexpected. The colony has regressed to a pre-industrial, superstitious level--and lording over the colony is an awesome entity known as Shalonn--the most powerful life form the crew has ever encountered! And their only contact with the mysterious being is Celesta, a woman who bears an astonishing resemblance to Stargazer's descendant, Servanne, who was left to perish in the 51st century.
