Starfish: Treasure troves of power. They were creatures of fusion
energy, ancient, huge, intelligent, drifting in herds on the edge of the
galaxy, producing their ambergris, the substance precious to man and the
man-like Sangaree alike. In deep, starless space the herds were
protected by the great harvestships of the Seiners, or Starfishers - the
independent, non-Confederation people who dared to skirt the deadly
boundaries of Stars' End and battle the Sangaree. It is with them on the
harvestship Danion that Confederation agents Mouse Storm and Moyshe
BenRabi have to fly and fight, probing mystery and myth. And where
BenRabi, man of many names, must surrender his dreams and his mind
itself to the golden dragons of space and their shepherds, the
gathering... Starfishers.
