From the back cover of the Ballantine first edition: "Lona Kelvin - naive orphan. And at seventeen, mother of one hundred children.
Minner Burris - starman. Whose butchered body had been put together by aliens, with artificial and alien replacements.
Horror stalked just beneath the surface of these two lonely creatures.
Duncan Chalk - a vulture, carrion eater of other people's emotions, feeding on pain, fear, anger, hatred, jealousy, terror; typifying in the appetites of his vast body the sick delight that millions took in the tragedies he skillfully arranged.
Lona Kelvin - Minner Burris - Duncan Chalk - Surely the strangest triangle the worlds had ever seen."
In addition to its stand-alone volume, this title was published in the follow books. It can be rated independently of any volumes containing it.
