Later printing of the 1968 paperback original novel.; second in cult favorite Anthony Villiers series (other novels in the series are Star Well [1968] and Masque World [1969]). Villiers is a sort of traveling adventurer/gambler/private eye, a kind of interplanetary Simon Templar, with a bit of Bret Maverick tossed in, living off his wits. He's young and slight of build, but that doesn't seem to stop him, or his faithful companion, Torve the Trog, a large furry toad who rides a red tricycle, from wandering the universe, having wildly improbable adventures rescuing fair maidens and thwarting the bad guys.
