SCAVENGER-JAGD - alle zwanzig Jahre das größte gesellschaftliche Ereignis in der Galaxis, zu dem sich alles, was Geld, Rang und Namen hat, einfindet. Dandys und Playgirls aus allen Sternenreichen kommen alle zwei Jahrzehnte mit ihren Rennjachten nach Huntworld, um den optimalen Nervenkitzel auszukosten - sofern sie die astronomisch hohen Startgebühren bezahlen können, denn die »oberen Zehntausend« dieser »Gesellschaft« von Nichtstuern und Müßiggängern möchten auch hier unter sich sein. Doch diesmal ist das Unfaßbare geschehen: In die Startlisten hat sich ein Androide eintragen lassen, ein biochemisches Produkt, ein Kunstmensch, ein »Ding«. SCAVENGER-JAGD - ein mörderisches und nicht selten tödliches Raketenrennen von einem Sternsystem ins andere durch die halbe Galaxis, bei dem es gilt, tollkühne und gefährliche Aufgaben zu erledigen, die alle Anforderungen an Kaltblütigkeit und Können, Mut und Ausdauer, List und Skrupellosigkeit stellen. Denn allein der Sieg zählt, und allein der Sieger heimst den Ruhm ein. Aber selten ist es der Sieger, der gewinnt.
