Rack and his partner Bogart are forced to act as Ambassador between two planet, one like decadent Rome, the other militaristic Sparta, to broker a peace around a settling a new planet. eventually a Romeo and Juliet situation resolves the whole thing unsatisfactorily, along the way almost nothing happening. There are occasional sleazy flourishes - gladiator games over a poo lake filled with giant carnivorous worms, a duel with vibro flails, but even these fall flat.
