Description: "Phyllis Gotlieb is the four-star SF writer who creates real people dealing with complex social and metaphysical problems in scientifically knowledgeable situations -- and all this in fine writerly language", said Judith Merril on the publication of Cotlieb's Flesh & Gold last year. Now the story continues and many of the same characters reappear in this intriguing sequel featuring both wonderful and terrible aliens, good and evil humans on many planets, and a series of murders aimed at wiping out opposition to a certain interstellar family corporation.
