The End of Life
“…throughout the Galaxy was months-or days or minutes- away. When the last mysterious entities known as Calebans died, so would all those who had ever traveled by a Caleban “jumpdoor”-and the jumpdoors were the universal means on travel, with every intelligent being on every planet using them constantly.
The Caleban had to be kept alive-but it was under contract to a psychotic millionaire who was subjecting it to systematic, damaging torture. McKie and Furuneo of the Bureau of Sabotage had to outwit her-if they could stay alive one enough!”
The Whipping Star, Frank Herbert, Berkley Medallion Books, 1970
