Whipping Star

In the far future, Jorj X. McKie is a Saboteur Extraordinary for the Bureau of Sabotage (BuSab), an organization dedicated to slowing down the wheels of government to prevent it from becoming too efficient and tyrannical. McKie is assigned to a high-stakes mission involving the Calebans, mysterious celestial beings who provide the 'jumpdoors' that allow for instantaneous travel across the galaxy. The Calebans are disappearing one by one, and only one remains: Fanny Mae. She is being held and tortured by the wealthy, sadistic Mliss Abnethe. If Fanny Mae dies, every sentient being who has ever used a jumpdoor will suffer brain death or permanent insanity. McKie must overcome extreme linguistic barriers and navigate a complex legal and physical landscape to communicate with the Caleban and save the universe from total collapse.
