Haviland Tuf, a simple space trader with a love for cats, never expected to wield the universe’s most powerful tool: a legendary seedship capable of genetic manipulation on a godlike scale. Now, as the sole heir to Earth’s Ecological Engineering Corps, Tuf must solve the catastrophic messes humanity has made across colonized worlds.
From rampaging monsters to overpopulation crises and dictators wielding plagues, every mission pits Tuf’s unyielding wit and integrity against chaos. In a galaxy teeming with rogues and villains, Tuf’s resourcefulness—and his remarkable seedship—are all that stand between disaster and survival.
With a ship full of biological wonders and a sharp mind, Tuf proves that sometimes, the universe’s greatest hero is also its most unexpected.
