Marooned on the planet Sporn, the star tramp Lod Jovis scavenges space wreckage in the hopes of buying passage aboard a visiting space freighter. One particularly promising piece of salvage turns out to be an escape podule containing the barbarian Kroom, a Terran warlord out of galactic prehistory. And thanks to Lod's attempts to turn a dishonest galacticredit both barbarian and star tramp are sent on a perilous mission to the planet's dark side. Will Lod and Kroom find the Place of Power? How will they survive the crippling sub-arctic cold of Sporn's dark side? Will they ever escape? Or are they cursed to a miserable death on a benighted planet a long, long way from the space lanes?
