No one paid much attention to Q Colony, one of the less significant planets in the Trisystem. Until an enterprising archaeologist discovered the Stoner journals.

They tell the story of the Oonaas, the outwardly passive inhabitants of Q, whose bodies gave men undreamt-of pleasures - and spelled their doom. Not one among them survived to tell the tale of lust and horror. . .
