Title: Planets for Sale
Description: "Evana paused uncertainly at the great gate of the landing field.  There was a sound behind her.  Rough hands smashed across her mouth, and grabbed her arms.  She was lifted from the ground and through a door into a wingless plane that instantly curled up into the air like smoke rising from a chimney."

This is the beginning; the beginning of an adventure that Evana, alone and unprotected the incredible world of the Ridge Stars, was never to forget.  She had come there for refuge, had left over-civilized, decadent earth for this pioneer Galaxy where jobs were plentiful.  But she never expected to work for Arthur Blord, the man who owned more power and more wealth than any other person in the universe.

Blord is a businessman extraordinary.  His office is the whole planet; his business capturing the wealth of an entire galactic system.  Together Arthur and Evana fight the SKAL as it broods alone in its ancient fortress, hating the human race in general and Arthur Blord in particular.

Writing with excitement and intensity unique in the annals of science fiction, E. Mayne Hull gives you a startling story of red-blooded adventure among the Ridge Stars -- a galactic system where men bribed, stole and murdered with the same casualness with which they made their billions -- and took their women.
