Klappentext:
DOM SALABOS HAD A LOT OF ADVANTAGES
As heir to a huge fortune, he had an excellent robot servant (with Man-Friday subcircuitry), a planet (the First Syrian Bank) as godfather, a security chief who even ran checks on himself, and on Dom's home world even death was not always fatal.
Why, then, in an age when prediction was a science, was his future in doubt?
