Morgan Chane was an Earthman by parentage, but he had been born on the
pirate-world Varna, whose heavy gravity had developed strength and
incredibly quick reflexes in him. When he was old enough, he joined the
raider-ships that looted the starworlds, and fought side by side with
the dreaded Starwolves of Varna. But then there was a fight among them.
Chane killed their leader, and the other Starwolves turned on him. He
barely got away alive - wounded near death, his Starwolf pursuers
following him across the galaxy. And there was nowhere he could seek
refuge, for no world would lift a hand to save one of the hated
Starwolves.
