Synopsis:
“A Patusian master trader
on an intergalactic mission awakens to discover that his space vessel is
missing and his eyes and ears are gone. Only gaping holes remain where his nose
and mouth had been. In place of his main senses he has inexplicably gained the
power of telepathy, which he must harness as his only defense against the
ferocious and highly evolved aliens, the drogan Kin, who immediately begin
hunting him for food.
Maranth, a stunningly beautiful young doctor, is briefed about the depravities of sex, violence and intoxication before she leaves her cultured home planet, Veddi, to begin practicing medicine at an off-world mine. But when savage Afthari raiders attack the mine and enslave Maranth, she finds herself in a world frighteningly different from the perfect, structured society in which she was raised.
Against all odds, the Trader finds his way to the Afthari raider camp and uses his newfound telepathy to communicate with Maranth, the only kind soul he encounters there. Together, they embark on a daring journey to return home.”

Review
“The Trader: Man with No
Face” By R.K. Mann is a freaky sci- fi thrill read. I mean that in a good
way!
We first meet The Man with No
Face, as he refers to himself, after he ends up on a planet and realises he has
no face - not even ears! He meets these crazy telepathic bird creatures who
like human blood, so he is immediately hunted as their main course. A strange
thing happens though. He can read minds, and they can hear him!
