    When top Hollywood star and bad girl Clarise Chalmers met a writer of trashy military science fiction William Moreland by chance in a bar she knew he was not her type at all. He was good looking but not of the film star standard she had come to expect and certainly not mega-successful with a top-range sports car. Anyway, she had a boyfriend - another top star and heart throb for millions of female fans. But Will made a lot of sense suggesting solutions to problems that had been plaguing her so she hired him as a business consultant warning him that their relationship would be strictly professional. There were a lot of wolves in Los Angeles of the two-legged kind, both those who wanted her body and those who wanted her money. Will could help in dealing with fee-hungry consultants of all kinds and fending off public attacks from former high-school friend turned nemesis, singing star Connie Leighton. If Will got any romantic ideas he would be shown the door. Fresh from a disastrous relationship with an aspiring actress Will was happy to take the star at her word and was glad of the job. However, Clarise should have taken more trouble to warn herself against getting romantic ideas.

    Delmak-O is a dangerous planet. Though there are only 14 citizens, no one can trust anyone else and death can 
    strike at any moment. The planet is vast and largely unexplored, populated mostly by gelatinous cube-shaped 
    beings that give cryptic advice in the form of anagrams. Deities can be spoken to directly via a series of prayer 
    amplifiers and transmitters, but they may not be happy about it. And the mysterious building in the distance 
    draws all the colonists to it, but when they get there each sees a different motto on the front. The mystery of 
    this structure and the secrets contained within drive this mind-bending novel.
