    Only gaping holes remain where his nose and mouth had been. In place of his main senses he has inexplicably gained the power of telepathy, which he must harness as his only defense against the ferocious and highly evolved aliens, the drogan Kin, who immediately begin hunting him for food. Maranth, a stunningly beautiful young doctor, is briefed about the depravities of sex, violence, and intoxication before she leaves her cultured home planet, Veddi, to begin practicing medicine at an off-world mine. But when savage Afthari raiders attack the mine and enslave Maranth, she finds herself in a world frighteningly different from the perfect, structured society in which she was raised. Against all odds, the trader finds his way to the Afthari raider colony and uses his newfound telepathy to communicate with Maranth, the only kind soul he encounters there. Together, they embark on a daring journey to return home. Set in a tumultuous future, The Trader: Man With No Face is a thrilling space odyssey packed with page-turning action and romance that raises difficult questions about the nature of love, societal norms and identity.
