Now the story continues. Many of the same characters reappear in this intriguing sequel featuring both wonderful and terrible aliens, good and evil humans on many planets, and a series of murders aimed at wiping out opposition to a certain interstellar family corporation. Phyllis Gotlieb lives in Toronto, Ontario.

Table of Contents

"If you have been wondering what a distinguished Canadian poet writes about when she writes science fiction, the answer is: sex and violence."--The New York Times Book Review

"[Phyllis Gotlieb is] a distinguished poet who first turned to science fiction in the 1960s...Violent Stars is above all a poet's novel;. Lyrical, beautifully written images of Ix assassins with bodies that flash strobe lights, shape-shifting robots, and telepathic reptiles sip in and out of scenes like visions from an LAD flashback. Gotlieb's language lifts her book from exotic thriller to literary achievement."--Maclean's Magazine
