The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

As the most gifted battle unit in the Confraternity of Sentient Races, Five-Red is entitled to nothing but the best: the best bunk, the best food, and the best pleasure units 'Tween has to offer. That is as it should be. After all, he is being groomed for the position of Fifth Division Commander.

But on campaign planet Bravo-335, he discovers a piece of alien technology that turns his life upside down. It holds the thoughts of a supposedly unthinking beast--a member of the very race the Confraternity's army has been sent out to exterminate.

Suddenly, he knows the Confraternity's computer is eliminating intelligent races. And with that knowledge he becomes a hunted man.

Yet the Confraternity must be stopped. The alternative is the extinction of every intelligent race throughout the universe.
