The Scoundrel Worlds — Chris Bunch

THE STAR RISK, LTD., TEAM IS BACK--AND THIS TIME THEY'RE PLAYING TO THE DEATH....

The planet...Trimalchio IV. Neutral. Uninvaded. Mild climate. No history, save for hedonism. Damn lucky.

The team...Star Risk, Ltd., a mercenary outfit struggling for recognition, fame, and money. After all, they put their lives on the line.

The job...skyball--popular, challenging, and violent. In other words, the greatest sport in the universe. Star Risk, Ltd., has been hired to watch it...closely. Two opposing worlds are neck and neck, and lately the game's been a killer. Riots, murder, a real madhouse for loyal fans. It's up to Star Risk to keep it galaxy-friendly.

GOOD LUCK, GANG. YOU DON'T STAND A SPORTING CHANCE.
