Synopsis

A frightening future world in which lives of peace and prosperity conceal an awesome secret... In the future, mankind lives in idle luxury. He has triumphed over his environment and all his needs are served by robots and androids. There is nothing left for him but to seek pleasure, in never-ending carnival - without inhibitions and without thinking of the price. Derry Horn, a wealthy playboy disillusioned with his futile existence, discovers the brutally murdered body of Lars Talibrand, But Talibrand was a 'citizen of the galaxy', a man of honour whose life was dedicated to helping others - why should anyone want to kill him? Shocked and intrigued by the senseless killing, Derry Horn embarks on a mission to outlying primitive stars - a mission fraught with danger, and for which Horn will have to risk his own life...
