Overview:
'Five of our worlds are missing'. That was the essence of the report that shocked the galactic Nomads at their annual meeting.

For each of the mighty star-ships reported vanished was a world of its own - a man-made, self-sustaining city-state housing thousands of people.

The Nomads themselves were an unplanned by-product of man's conquest of the stars. They were the gypsies of the distant future, the restless rovers of outer space.

But to Joachim of the peregrine they represented a way of life that was to be dearly defended. So it fell to him to make his own world-ship the bait in a cosmic trap set to catch the galaxy's unknown foemen!
