The Galactic Empire's Coordinating Computer should have a wonderfull thing for mankind. Being able to match planets and an endless variety of alien lifeforms. But should even that complex and wonderous a machine be in charge of directing humans. It is up to a psychic weasel, a telepathic hermit crab, and a very sensuous imperial agent to seek out a forbidden world which now threatens the future of Earth and countless other worlds as the renegade leader Piebald has learned how to control the Computer across both time and space.
First part of book more interesting than the latter part but the characters were enjoyable
