Trelayne was once one of the Entity's corporate warriors. Given the drug Scream, it increased his physical capabilities while at the same time detaching him from his humane sensibilities. Charged with destroying indigenous populations who were in the way of the corporation's view of space exploration, he did as he was ordered. One horrific day, he decided he had had enough, and disappeared. He knew his death was eminent if he didn't find a source for Scream.Time passes and he has made a somewhat decent life for himself; he even has a source for Scream. What he hadn't counted on was his past coming back to haunt him. Will he be able to save his rag tag group of friends, or will he lose them?The main protagonist is a strong and courageous man who has bucked a system that is nothing less than barbaric. His circle of alien friends is incredibly unique and adds much to the story. This is one of the best science fiction short stories I have had the pleasure of reading. If you love science fiction, you cannot go wrong with this one! Very highly recommended!
