The crew investigate a world where there seems to be a cyclic growth, then destruction.

Critic comment
Lately Moulton seems fixated in what he calls social dynamics and imperatives. This type of thing would be off-putting to me when looking for a work to read. Such works are most often rather boring and tend to preach.
Not the case with Moulton. The story is rather nicely connected and very humorous at times. There is a sense of fun shared between the main characters.
I will give this one three stars. Make that three and a half.
