Glen Cook Shadowline

Annotation

The vendetta in space had started centuries before Mouse Storm was born with his grandfathers raid on the planet Prefactlas, the blood bath that freed the human slaves from their Sangaree masters. But one Sangaree survivedthe young Norborn heir, the man who swore vengeance on the Storm family and their soldiers, in a carefully mapped plot that would take generations to fulfill. Now Mouses father Gneaus must fight for an El Dorado of wealth on the burning half of the planet Blackworld. As the great private armies of all space clash on the narrow Shadowline that divides inferno from life-sheltering shade, Gneaus half-brother Michael plays his traitorous games, and a man called Death pulls the deadly strings that threaten to entrap them allas the Starfishers Trilogy begins.
