Stephen Goldin originally wrote a long novel called "Scavenger Hunt," but Laser Books didn't want to publish a book that long. Instead, Goldin was asked to break the book into 2 parts, and to make the parts look independent of one another. This volume is actually only the second half of the full story, and was given a false beginning to make it appear as though it starts here, The story actually starts in the book "Scavenger Hunt." A later edition of Scavenger Hunt integrates the complete story in one volume. [Back cover]: The Scavenger Hunt is a race through space, and the winner will receive the Society's greatest accolade. DeVrie is one of the leaders, but he is sickened by what he has seen and done. He wants to quit, but is tricked into continuing by his sister.
