Glen Cook is not only one of those rare writers whose talent is equally capable of science fiction and fantasy, but also a writer who has the most original feature - the science fiction novels that came out from his pen are, in his opinion, in their own words, often “fantasy, only dressed in camouflage.” Here is a story about blood feud, in the fire of which planets burn, about the eternal confrontation between the armies of the greatest condottieri of space - Gnaeus Julius Storm and Richard Hawksblood - and about the war for fabulous treasures depths of the Black World. The story is about star catchers grazing herds of intelligent Starfish in the far reaches of the universe, and about the terrible revenge of a terrible crime. The story of the Planet of Death, transformed into the most impregnable stronghold in the galaxy - and the ruthless battles on the Star Frontier. Before you - Glen Cook's breathtaking "Shadow Line" trilogy, a space saga that is impossible to tear yourself away from.
