Mankind was beginning its third leap into the Galaxy, but Old Earth had so long kept to herself that her people were unable to travel safely among the rough-and-tumble cultures that had evolved on distant worlds.

That annoyed Earth’s rulers, for Hobart Floyt – a minor Terran bureaucrat – had been left a mysterious inheritance by the deceased ruler of a small but wealthy interstellar empire. Earth was dirt-poor, and the government wanted Floyt’s inheritance; but to collect it, Floyt would have to travel to the Reading of the Will…many light-years away! And so Alacrity Fitzhugh – a young, but seasoned spacer – is blackmailed into shepherding this naive Terran on a dangerous interstellar quest.
