They were trapped on a viciously primitive planet, by an electronic bloodhound that was viciously unpredictable!
The survey team was seven parsecs beyond the Rim when the bloodhound picked up their trail.
Three years earlier the inevitable had happened. The humans of the Ten Thousand Worlds had met another race with the faster-than-light space drive—and an expanding population. The contacts had been brief—and violent. Each race had set up defenses against the other, and maneuvered for position and control of the habitable worlds separating them. The aliens' bloodhounds formed the outer circle of their defense perimeter.
