For too long, the Puppeteers have controlled the fate of worlds.#xA0; Now Sigmund is pulling the strings... #xA0; Covert agent Sigmund Ausfaller is Earth's secret weapon, humanity's best defense against all conspiracies, real and potential - and imaginary - of foes both human and alien.#xA0; Who better than a brilliant paranoid to expose the devious plots of others? #xA0; He may finally have met his match in Nessus, representative of the secretive Puppeteers, the elder race who wield vastly superior technologies.#xA0; Nessus schemes in the shadows with Earth's traitors and adversaries, even after the race he represents abruptly vanishes from Known Space. #xA0; As a paranoid, Sigmund had always known things would end horribly for him.#xA0; Only the when, where, how, why, and by whom of it all had eluded him.#xA0; That fog has begun to lift... #xA0; But even Sigmund has never imagined how far his investigations will take him - or that his destiny is entwined with the fates of worlds.
