Summary:
When someone sent distress signals to space from the planet Tschai, it was Adam Reith’s misfortune to be sent from Globe to investigate. Since when his dispatch came close to Tschai, it was torpedoed-and Adam escaped to the top with his existence and nothing else.
On Tschai, a huge, previously unexplored world, Adam is taken as a slave by individuals and learns that there are four other intelligent but non-human races dominant upon this unusual world. To solve the mystery of the problems call as well as the vicious strike on his ship, he must 1st gain his freedom, then find safe passage by the city and the alien Chasch and their treacherous cousins, the Blue Chasch.
Jack Vance’s Tschai novels are considered his masterwork, a constantly changing epic canvas of strange peoples, unique lands, and surprising extraterrestrial adventures.
“Unique adventure, dastardly villains, gorgeous women, baroque landscapes, all served up with the inimitable, matchless Vance style and wit: dazzlingly inventive, utterly delightful, and absolutely, unequivocally essential to any collection.”-Kirkus Evaluations, praise for the series
