Lallia: E.C. Tubb

Book VI of The Dumarest Saga. Aboard the trading ship Moray, Dumarest headed into the Web, a region of space twisted and wrenched out of shape by the dense remnants of dead suns. He had no money, no goal and no tomorrow - only his memories and an undying hope. Somewhere in the vastness of the galaxy he would find the person who would hear his question: "Have you ever heard of a planet called Earth?' - and answer, "Yes." Cover art by Paul Alexander.
