From publisher blurb: Along the edge of known space, the planet Imbrikar IV orbits a cool, dim star. Because of the world’s distance from the sun, its surface remains shrouded in twilight. This world, referred to as Imbrikar Prime, exists in perpetual shadow. Every form of life there has adapted and evolved to survive these conditions. Not surprisingly, most aliens find this a depressing and grim locale and try to limit the length of their visit. The imbrikari, a large ursine species, rose to become the dominant sentients on their planet. With resources scarce and life difficult under the best of conditions, they evolved to thrive with what they had available. Most notably, they learned to hunt and kill the many lethal animals roaming the pale forests and shadowed plains of their homeworld. The discovery of other worlds and other species led the imbrikari to become among the galaxy’s most renowned and effective bounty hunters.
