Book description

Marooned on an unknown planet, the Persephone's officers moved warily through the forest. They had escaped the mutineers, but they knew there was danger ahead ... but what was it? The answer came in a howl of fury and a charge by grotesque armed figures - an army of death-dealing women! Avram Davidson, noted for his classic science-fiction short stories, tells a rousing tale of adventure in space and on an incredible planet.
