| Summary: | Night of light: "Once every seven years, a world in orbit around a binary star is bathed in a bizarre radiance that rearranges physical reality. Most of the planet's inhabitants choose to sleep for the entire two-week period, often using a special medicine to do so. Only mystics, newcomers, and devotees to the planet's bizarre religion are willing to stay awake and endure the two weeks of brilliance, where things materialize out of thin air."--Wikipedia. Catseye: "Troy Horan manages to find work in a luxury pet shop on his repressive planet when he learns he can communicate telepathically with the animals - notably a kinkajou and some exotic Terran cats. He uncovers a conspiracy resulting in the death of the owner and flees to the dangerous Wilds with the animals. After crashing in ancient, forbidden ruins, he finds the remains of the explorers that had previously attempted to enter the ruins along with a mysterious machine that can summon the past into the present. The aforementioned machine is heavily implied to have been the cause of the explorer's deaths."--Wikipedia. Secret of the lost race: "The Constellation of the Wolf was an area of the Galaxy few spacemen wanted to visit, for its sparse worlds were home only to the outcasts of the civilized worlds. But now it had been learned that there was among is runaway refugees who was more than just a misfit - one who was a definite danger to all humanity. The hunt was on for the desperate young man called Joktar - for if he was what they said he was, he could contaminate the universe! Only Joktar didn't believe it - and he rallied a world of courageous outlaws to defend him."--Write-up from the back of the 1969 ACE paperback edition. |
