You can't escape a hangman. Murder is burned into its android brain. The only thing Clove can do is run. He's forced to seek help from his mother, who's the captain of a small starship. Only problem is, he and his mother don't get on. She doesn't understand why he gets into fights, abandons his studies and has even sabotaged an android production factory. The ship leaps through space in a convoluted way to try and confuse the hangman. When it finally stops, it materialises before a tropical green planet. Readings indicate only plant life. But when Clove takes a joy-ride, he discovers a very weird sort of humanoid....
