In Zeron: The Planet of Death-Sleep, Vindal Vandakoff spins a tale of Zeron, a planet trapped in disaster. Its people suffer daily the evolutionary path of hundreds of millions of years: formation of magma, desert, tsunami, ice age, and death-sleep, and they grow old and die every day from the same sickness. Tortured aliens reveal a pending invasion for control of the powerful Etholisk fuel, which gives its possessors a universal trade monopoly. When the Heiress, daughter of the Controller of Zeron, awakens from a dream in her death-sleep'•no one on Zeron has ever dreamed'•she is compelled to perform a task that will liberate her planet. But the message is inscribed into a tablet, and she possesses only half, the other half held by Warrior monks. When her brother, Nosalj, is given the other half and learns the horrid task, he hides it from her. As the power of the tablet begins to take over his life, he is haunted by memories from his past.
