- Jack Vance’s three standalone science fiction novels set in the Alastor Cluster, a pocket of some thirty thousand stars ruled by the Connatic, who often travels among his subjects in disguise.
- Trullion follows a young man on a water world obsessed with a violent ball game called hussade; Marune follows an amnesiac who must recover his identity among a ritual-bound aristocracy; Wyst satirises an egalitarian society that has made work shameful.
- Ornate, ironic and full of strange customs, classic Vance.
