Lunzie Mespil hat nur die Zukunft ihrer Tochter im Sinn, als sie einen Posten als Bordärztin beim Asteroidenbergbau annimmt. Doch das Schiff, das sie an ihren Einsatzort bringen soll, wird von den gefürchteten Planetenpiraten überfallen. Lunzie gelingt die Flucht in einer Rettungskapsel, aber als man sie aus dem Tiefkühlschlaf holt, ist mehr als ein halbes Jahrhundert vergangen. Die Piraten haben ihr das Leben gestohlen, doch sie gibt nicht auf.
Carialle and Keff are now serving as couriers for the "globe-frogs", the beings they helped to discover. They must transit a sector where Carialle suffered an intense trauma years ago, and the evidence is pointing to the globe-frogs as the guilty party for Carialles pain.
Like Helva, the Ship Who Sang, (and Nancia from PartnerShip, Tia from The Ship Who Searched, and Simeon, who runs The City Who Fought) Carialle was born so physically disadvantaged that her only chance for life was as a shellperson. And again like those others, Carialle decided she would strap on a spaceship. Her brawn is a guy named Keff. Their mission: to search the galaxy for intelligent beings, to travel where no shellperson and her brawn have gone before... Alas, intelligent life is thin on the galactic ground, so when Carialle and Keff arrive on a very nice little world with very nice little aliens, fuzzy and polite and eager to please, they are overjoyed. But their joy does not last: their fuzzy friends turn out to be virtual slaves to a race of sorcerers, sorcerers who really do seem to possess magical powers of frightening potency, and who are neither fuzzy, polite, nor the least bit eager to please.
In Generation Warriors, the list of people who will save the galaxy is not a long one, but together the might and wisdom of them cannot be thwarted. Lunzie, Fordelition, Dupaynil, Aygar and Sassinak work to stop disaster. Sassinak, the novel, tells how Sassinak was only twelve years old when the raiders came. Despite her youth she remembered them and resolved to take revenge on the pirate who killed her parents and friends. In The Death of Sleep, Lunzie Mespill always knew that the "planet pirates" were capable of doing horrible things, but she truly believed nothing would ever happen. Then, the pirates attack the space liner she's on. She thinks fast and decides to spend some time in cryogenic stasis while awaiting rescue.
