The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

An aristocrat, Lady Sharrow, is being hunted by a religious cult, the Huhsz, and has to travel widely with a team of former comrades-in-arms, to find an ancient weapon, placate the Huhsz, and save her own life.

Lady Sharrow, a former pilot and antiquities thief, lives in exile on a planet called Golter, which, with its sun Thrial, lies a million light years from any other star. An eccentric cult, the Huhsz, believes that the messiah can not be born until the end of her bloodline. The only way to escape their hunting passport lies in the recovery of the Lazy Gun - an ancient weapon which has a surreal and humorous approach to death.

Sharrow, who narrowly survived the assassination of her mother when a child, joins up with her former combat team on a series of quests. The group locate a number of Antiquities -- including the Crownstar Addendum, one of the most valuable pieces of jewelry in the solar system, and the Universal Principles, an ancient book -- on the way to the final quest for the last Lazy Gun. When it is eventually discovered, it is guarded by an elaborate defence system incorporating a genetic key which Sharrow has to deactivate.
