Description:

"Between the distant stars lay terror" Ace Double M-121, printed with "Alpha Yes, Terra No!" by Emil Petaja The Star Folk were an anachronism. Living in their cluster of giant ships far out in space, cut off from contact with their fellow humans, they were shrouded in mystery. Through the allegory of an ancient song, Joneny, an anthropology student, set out to unravel the mystery — and found a truth stranger than any allegory.
