Whipping Star (ConSentiency Universe, #1)

Suddenly - the end of all life throughout the entire Galaxy! It was only weeks away, or days - or even hours. It all depended on the survival of the last of the entities known as Calebians.

But the Caleban was dying - subjected to systematic torture by the richest, most wicked woman in the Galaxy. Unless she could be stopped, the end was only a few days away, or hours - or even minutes!
