In the distant future of the Bio-of-Caps, a disgraced human woman and an alien crab creature are forced to merge minds to compete in a deadly galaxy-spanning race for an ancient artifact.

In Piers Anthony's second Cluster series novel, the galaxy faces a crisis as a mysterious, ultra-dense cosmic object named Thousandstar enters known space. To secure rights to the object, competing alien species select their highest-aura representatives to participate in a high-stakes galactic competition. Human competitor Jessica, suffering from a damaged aura, is forced to share a physical form and mind with HeEM, an alien spider-crab species.

Navigating the disorientation of a combined dual consciousness, Jessica and HeEM must cooperate to survive treacherous alien environments, rival species saboteurs, and internal identity conflicts to reach Thousandstar first.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Piers Anthony combines imaginative alien biology, intricate sci-fi worldbuilding, and classic 1980s space opera adventure. A solid vintage paperback for fans of the Cluster series and speculative science fiction.
