Flashing across his viewscreen, an iridescent image was Jeremy Thorpe's first glimpse of the Vegans, the mysterious infiltrators of Earth's galactic sector, bent upon a seemingly mindless determination to eliminate the men of Earth.
This first glimpse was very nearly his last when Jeremy's ship Quest was almost instantly plunged into the center of a holocaust of heat-beams and fragmentation bombs.
Jeremy and the two other survivors of Quest escaped with their lives only to find themselves stranded on the shores of a Vega-occupied planet. And in order to survive they had to discover that the key to Vega lay in the strange magic of a race that seemed to consist entirely of the opposite sex. Shocking stuff!
