Synopsis
In Glory's People, Glory and her crew face a challenge from outside time and space, a devouring entity that could wipe human life from the galaxy. The great Goldenwing ship, Gloria Coelis, and her crew of Wired starfarers and cats with enhanced powers, has arrived at a planet settled by Japanese, one of the most technologically advanced civilizations among the colonized planets. The purpose of the voyage is to warn these people of the impending threat of the intergalactic entity and to enlist their scientific and military aid to combat the menace. But the threat is so unbelievable and the civilization so rigid and slow to act as a society that disaster has to strike and the death toll has to mount before the real battle can begin.
