The First Feast

Tabo 'T-Bone' Norid thought getting locked in a drunk tank with an extremely disreputable-looking human was the worst thing that was going to happen to him on the day the bustling moon called Standing Wave died. In a million-storey tower on the edge of charted space, Tornadia The Allegorian hunts myths and legends. A brutal corsair captain and his crew make a discovery that could make their careers . . . or spell the end of civilisation as they (admittedly only vaguely) know it. And thousands of years ago, the Five Species Fleet arrives at Earth with the message for humanity that started it all: Be quiet. Be quiet or they'll hear you. The First Feast is the second anthology of short stories set in Curs d's Playground, the galaxy of The Final Fall of Man.
