E. C. 'Scar' Gordon, recovering from combat in Southeast Asia, finds an unusual newspaper advertisement seeking a brave, healthy, and capable man for a dangerous, high-paying permanent position. The ad's requirements, including fluency in French, proficiency with weapons, and knowledge of engineering and mathematics, seem to describe him perfectly. Upon responding, he meets a woman named 'Star,' who is revealed to be the empress of twenty universes. This novel is celebrated for its blend of sword and sorcery with science fiction elements, offering an exciting, satirical, and fast-paced adventure.
