Lightly Scuffed; Light Creasing on Front, Rear Covers, Spine; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Spine Slightly Cocked; Edges Lightly Soiled; Slight Yellowing Due to Age. An exciting novel of Known Space, by the author of Ringworld and The Ringworld Engineers. ALSO KNOWN AS: A shorter version of this novel appeared under the title, The Adults, in Galaxy Magazine, June 1967. SYNOPSIS: THE MISSION OF PHSSTHPOK. Phssthpok the Pak had been traveling for most of his 32,000 years--his mission, to save, develop, and protect the group of Pak breeders sent out into space some 2 1/2 million years before. Brennan was a Belter, the product of a fiercely independent, somewhat anarchic society living in, on, and around an outer asteroid belt. The Belters were rebels, one and all, and Brennan was a smuggler. The Belt worlds had been tracking the Pak ship for days--Brennan figured to meet that ship first. He was never seen again--at least not by those alive at the time. - and - PAK POWER. Phssthpok was a Pak. That meant he had three stages of growth--Childhood, Breeder, and finally, Protector, the last achieved around the age of 45 Earth years. At that time, all being well, basic physiological changes would take place, and provided a Pak had access to proper food--his tree-of-life root--a Protector could be virtually immortal. In this rigidly structured species, a Protector has only one genetically implanted objective--to Protect his bloodline. A Protector without progeny loses the will to live, ceases to be hungry, and so dies of starvation. Unless he can find a way to transfer his personal bloodline drive to a more generalized drive for survival of the species. This prime drive, plus his superlative intelligence, his physical strength and structural simplicity, make him a most effective Protector--and a viciously formidable fighter. Since the Pak spend most of their time fighting one another in murderous planet-wide wars, they have never spread out to conquer the galaxy-- Until Phssthpok set out to find a lost group of Breeders.
