Eric John Stark thinks that he is at long last safe on a world finally set free. But he is betrayed and left to fend for himself on a savage planet.

He, with his foster-father, Simon Ashton, must find friends and allies among some of the most vicious warriors of the region, including those practicing cannibalism. But they have little choice if they are to survive and, perhaps, lead another revolution to free the stars.

The Reavers of Skaith is the final exciting book concluding the riveting adventures of Eric Stark; the orphan raised by the natives of Mercury whose destiny was to free the enslaved worlds of the galaxy.
