Last of his kindTraitor FugitiveTo Morzan, the planet of Alkyr Two was a refuge, a hiding place. His was the invincible species, or so his kind had thought. Conquest after conquest brought only victory until an ancient enemy awakened. Then, overwhelming numbers and a unified pool of thought combined with a matchless biotech physiology were suddenly not enough. Whole battle fleets would just disappear, and he witnessed reality itself ripped apart in front of him by this terrible foe. He tried to reason with his own to stop the war, but they compelled him to build a weapon to rival the powers of their enemies and lay waste to them. At the last battle, seeing his own kind doomed by the futility of their decisions, he betrayed them, turning the weapon on his own and fleeing into uncharted space.To humanity, it was known as the "Planet of the Werewolves." Nearly forgotten at the distant edge of their sector of space lay a fertile but dangerous world - a world where fierce beasts like those from myth and legend savagely defended their territory. It was a declining species to observe only from the safety of orbital space, until now. Where the ruins of a stair-stepped temple once stood crumbling in an overgrown jungle, the land has now been cleared. The ancient temple has been fully restored! A thriving and sophisticated village rests nearby! For the crew of the ISTO starship Pioneer, and for Lieutenant Satsuki Kyoko especially, it is an enthralling mystery that must be unraveled!
