THE LEESHORE
Publisher's Note
On a bizarre planet covered almost entirely with water, a crew of avenging Earthmen, guided by two youngsters, battle a cult of computer worshippers who have failed in their bid to conquer Earth.

FROM THE COVER: "Abitibi and Jellico were the only humans to be born on the Leeshore. To them, it was home. But the Islanders hated the watery planet. Beneath its canopy of airborne plants they felt suffocated by the stench of decay and blinded by the eternal darkness. Their only hope lay in rescue.Yet when the starships finally appeared, they carried men whose goals were not to liberate, but to destroy. Rivals in a struggle for supremacy that had begun on another world, the Alteretics and the Earthmen were preparing for the ultimate confrontation. And they would use any weapon--- or anyone--- to win. Soon, in a war they can neither understand nor envision, Abitibi and Jellico will be forced to choose sides. For the final battle will be fought on...THE LEESHORE."
