The Rostma Lure

Rostma is the plague of the galaxy - a highly addictive drug that steals the souls of humans and nonhumans alike. On the hell-planet of Kenszana, it is harvested by slave labor, whose lives are held cheap by their brutal masters. To rescue a beautiful woman kidnapped as a pawn in an interworld power play, Kelly and Samms go undercover among the ranks of the wretched. But the mission goes terribly wrong as 41 turns traitor, and Kelly himself succumbs to the powerful lure of rostma.
