Summary
John Truck was to outward appearances
just another lowlife spaceship captain. But he was also the
last of the Centaurans, or at least half of him was, which
meant that he was the only person who could operate the
Centauri Device, a sentient bomb which might hold the key to
settling a vicious space war. M. John Harrison's classic novel
turns the conventions of space opera on their head, and is
written with the precision and brilliance for which is
famed.
