The balance of galactic power in the 31st century revolves around Illyrion, the most precious energy source in the universe. Captain Lorq van Ray's varied and exotic crew know their mission is dangerous, but they have no idea of Lorq's secret obsession to gather Illyrion from an imploding star.

Industry Reviews

Mr. Delany has an extensive imagination, an exhausting imagination, an undisciplined imagination. In this case, a nova becomes a light almost lost in the shadow of philosophy, psychology, economics, gypsy boys, albino Negroes, drugs, empire-destroying family feuds, sensory apparatuses, cyborgs, even Tarot cards. Captain Lorg Von Ray plans to fly through the center of an exploding sun and bring out a priceless substance that will upset a galaxy's economic balance. But by the time he gets there, the reader may be too tired to care. (Kirkus Reviews)
