Star Hunter

Set against a backdrop of a vividly imagined alien landscape, the narrative explores themes of hatred and symbolism through the character Ras Hume. As he reflects on mankind's deep-seated animosities, he perceives Wass as a representation of this evil, likening it to a serpent coiling across the ground. The lush, exotic environment of the Pleasure House terrace, designed to mimic an off-world jungle, enhances the story's atmosphere, inviting readers to delve into the complexities of human emotions and interstellar conflicts.
