Synopsis
THE HOWLING STONES is SF action-adventure at its best. Strange stones found on a newly discovered planet prove to be far more than the healing gems the aliens use them for. In fact, they control a gateway to a vast system of intergalactic pathways built by unimaginably more powerful beings than themselves. . . something that could destroy all life in the Commonwealth universe forever! Like MIDFLINX, THE HOWLING STONES is a novel set in Commonwealth universe, in which many of Alan Dean Foster's most popular adventures have taken place.

The newly discovered planet of Senisran was a veritable paradise--a sprawling world of vast oceans dotted with thousands of lush islands and copious deposits of rare-earths and minerals. First-contact specialist Pulickel Tomochelor's mission to Senisran was straightforward: Secure mining rights for the Humanx Commonwealth before the vicious AAnn Empire beat them to the chase. With Senisran's Parramat clan resisting entreaty, negotiations could be difficult, but Pulickel was more comfortable with aliens than with his own species, and looked forward to a triumphant return to Earth. He hadn't counted on the incredible secret of Parramat, though: the strange, powerful green stones that the tribe used to manipulate the forces of nature. Within those stones lay an awesome technology the origin of which was lost in time--a technology that had to be kept from the AAnn at any cost . . . *** Quantity Available: 1.
