Dumarest
meets another chickie-boo, has some adventures in space, finds an
ancient artifact that performs miracles of healing and gets a better
idea of where Earth is located. Of course, Chickie-boo dies. I
suspect every girl Dumarest meets is going to fall in love with him
and then die. Talk about a Black Widower!
These adventures of Earl’s are like mini-adventures. Just enough to keep life interesting but not long enough to call it an adventure steak. It’s like getting one big steak tip, knowing there’s a whole bowlful of them.
So while I’d like gorge myself, Tubb is forcing self-control on me by doling these out one at a time. It’s good for me, so I can only complain so much about it before being forced to admit the justice of it all.

From
Wikipedia.org
Dumarest is searching for old charts, and takes
passage as a cargo handler on a run-down old trading ship. The
dynamics of the flawed men forming the crew are well-described. An
agent of the Cyclan confronts Dumarest, and indirectly this reveals a
secret property of Dumarest's ring. Dumarest is healed by an alien
ship or device, which gives him a vision showing where Earth is
located.
