(2) YA Assigned the task of tracing the origins of a plot on his emperor's life, Ahvren seeks out the help of a bibliogoth, a giant antlike scholar from a conquered race. The mystery moves at a cracking pace, and Bell creates several alien races with unique characteristics and philosophies. This science-fiction/mystery story features winning characterization, suspenseful covert action at the climax, and an intriguing conclusion.
