War of the Wing-Men
by Poul AndersonOnly three humans survived the wreck of that spaceship on the little known planet of Diomedes. One was the beautiful ruler of a distant colonial world; another was the fat, slovenly owner of a great Solar trading company; the third was a handsome, blue-eyed engineer. The survivors had food for only six weeks, for the native food was one hundred percent poisonous to people. So in that limited amount of time they had to gain the trust of the winged barbarians who held them prisoners, end the terrible war that these Diomedians were engaged in, and persuade the wing-men to carry the three across the thousands of miles of unmapped territory to the single Earth spaceport. Their desperate efforts to beat that fatal deadline makes WAR OF THE WING-MEN one of Poul Anderson's most exciting novels.
