Five bracelets of solid gold - five clues that began an interstellar treasure hunt. And as the luck of the Irish would have it, Paddy Blackthorn found himself the chief hunter - and the chief hunted. He had only the cryptic messages imprinted in the five armbands so involuntarily left him by the five planetary rulers. Only the treasure Paddy sought woulld suffice to rescue the home planet - and incidentally to rule the rest of the cosmos.
