When the Masters convene, anything is bound to happen . . .
Including--
The People, small, scurrying, shrewd, cannibalistic--strictly a survival of the fittest culture.
A terrifying world which never discovered how to split the atom.
An aristocracy of power that deliberately destroys itself in order to survive.
Can an Earthman beat the Veldans at their revered game and avoid a war?
AND MORE!
