"The interstellar alien corporation that, in Flesh and Gold, was thwarted in its plans to breed and exploit humanoid slaves strikes back in an attempt to keep its case from ever coming to court. A judge is murdered on Khagodis, where the amphibious human slave were first bred, and the undercover agent from Flesh and Gold is called back into service. And so begins a journey into the heart of corporate darkness."--BOOK JACKET.
