Description: In the future, "jumpdoors," presented to mankind by the mysterious entities known as Calebans, have made instantaneous travel to any point in the Galaxy a commonplace. But the Calebans are vanishing, and now only one is left, and two agents of the Bureau of Sabotage make a horrifying discovery: When the last Caleban dies, so will everyone, everywhere, who has ever used a jumpdoor! And nobody is known not to have "jumped" at least once... The Caleban must be kept alive -- but it is under contract to a psychotic millionairess who is subjecting it to systematic, damaging torture... From this weird situation, Frank Herbert spins a colorful, fast-moving tale, set in an exotic future civilization -- deft, dramatic, shimmering with the "sense of wonder" that marks the best SF.

Emmy de Reus (nyneve) | 20401 comments This request does not involve the adding of new books/new editions to the Goodreads database (it is already present, see https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...), so it is in the wrong folder..
See Where should I put my request? (folder overview)

Please MOVE your topic to the correct folder Book & Author Page Issues by clicking the (EDIT) button next to the topic's title and picking the target folder from the pulldown list (only available for desktop/laptop, not in the app).
