The Starkahn Of Rhada: Robert Cham Gilman

Book IV of Rhada. Orbiting the Delphinius Star 2380, the great black starship was unlike any seen before. Larger than a small planetoid, the product of a time and place unknown, it was a technological marvel. Kier, the Starkahn of Rhada, was the first to sight the ship and to discover its cargo - a silver-eyed alien girl locked in a time capsule, perhaps for centuries. When he freed the girl, the Delphinius star exploded. The starship vanished into space. And a dark danger was unleashed - for Kier had triggered a death machine. He had to stop the deadly starship before it completed its objective - annihilation of the planets. Cover art by Kevin Johnson.
