Book description
The inhabitants of Botany - a mixture of humans and extra
terrestrials - had managed to build a thriving and productive world
out of what had originally been intended as a slave planet. And now
they had plans to try and overthrow the terrible Eosi, who for
centuries had existed by subsuming members of the Catteni race, living
in their bodies and ruling space through them.
And the Botanists had received mysterious and unexpected help from
the great beings they knew only as 'Farmers' - for the Farmers had
thrown a huge impervious space bubble round Botany. Even as the Eosi
ships tried to pulverise the rebellious planet, the bubble held firm.
But, safe though they were behind the protective device, Kris
Bjornsen, Zainal and all of the Council knew they had to go out and
destroy the Eosi on their own ground. It fell to Zainal to risk his
life in a desperate and daring mission to vanquish the monster life
forms forever.
