When a mysterious series of fatalities on the colony planet of Maugham's Station reaches the attention of the Confederation's Marines, newly promoted Lt. Charles Bass is assigned to take the 34th FIST to the planet to investigate the possibility of involvement by the hostile aliens known as Skinks. What they find on the planet, however, is a new type of predator and a volatile political situation. Sherman and Cragg continue their "Starfist" series (First To Fight; Kingdom's Sword) with another tale of military action-adventure and planetary exploration. Familiar characters and catchy dialog make this a good addition to libraries with an audience for military sf. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
