The planet Miran had sent a spaceship to rendezvous with the enormous
vessel that was approaching their star system. The vessel's design was
odd--a multitude of separate globular habitats in a framework--and most
of the alien team that entered one of the habitats were slaughtered by
savage creatures called "humans." One alien had barely managed to escape
to another habitat where the humans were more friendly, if rather
technologically backward. But he needed to get back to his spaceship,
and he would need one human's help to do that.
They would have to travel through several more habitats, each one
isolated from the other, each with its own bizarre dangers and customs.
And friendliness toward strangers was not one of those customs. . . .
