Book description
It seemed like a good idea; even a noble experiment. But the outcome
was sheer hell.
When the Balduin brothers escaped from the tedium of the human hive of
Atlanta, Georgia, they had a mission. They were to voyage to the planet
Trope, contact a tribe there known as the Ouemartsee, and transport it
to Glaparca for a useful purpose.
But suddenly the Balduin brothers discovered that they were in the
slave trade, and that the Ouemartsee had made one of them a God . . .
