"An Anthony Villiers Adventure G-756"--Cover.
"Cover art: Kelly Freas."
Summary "Within Star Well can be found casinos and dining rooms, luxury suites and expensive shops, warehouses and (secret basements). Wu and Fabricant's Guidebook says Star Well is a dull place to visit. It wouldn't have said that if Wu and Fabricant had been shown the secret basements. Strange travelers come to Star Well. Anthony Villiers: personable, curious, temporarily without funds to cover his bill, and our hero. Torve the Trog: bulge-eyed alien, illegal wanderer, vegetarian by principle. Augustus Srb: fat and dubious priest of Mithra and perhaps something more. Secrets cannot be hidden forever and the tight little world of Star Well was bursting at the seams with them. Calamity, uproar and the end of an era were inevitable..."--Back cover.
