Priam's Lens
Del Rey (paperback, 422 pages, $6.99/$8.99 Can)
Publication date: June 8, 1999
Brand new novel from the author of Midnight at the Well of Souls and The Changewinds. "Humans had finally gone to the stars, as the dreamers had always hoped; celestial stretches of the galaxy became the playgrounds of a new spacefaring race. But now these worlds were being taken over by Titans, creatures with unimaginable, godlike powers, supremely indifferent to humanity's survival. There was one chance to stop them. Helena, one of the Titan-dominated planets, concealed an untapped, hundred-year-old weapon -- Priam's Lens. Getting to Helena would not be difficult, but activating the lens was another matter. No one had ever returned from a Titan encounter. They simply disappeared -- status unknown. Now a small ragtag crew made up of scientists, warriors, a priest, and a stowaway -- naval officer Gene Harker -- were ready to pit themselves against the greatest power in the universe. With the help of a mad space pirate, they descended upon the deadly planet. They will succeed -- or die trying..."
