Synopsis: From the cover: "The war was over. Against such an opponent the tiny planet hadn't stood a chance. One man alone was responsible for the futile war. His name was Gothan. He'd appeared from nowhere, yet soon managed to become the planet's absolute dictator. Now Gothan was dead. Or was he? Jarek decided to find out. He was an off-world reporter covering the aftermath of the war. It seemed no one knew what had really happened to Gothan — and no one wanted to find out. But Jarek found out. And because his investigation carried him on a nightmare journey through both time and space, there wasn't a thing he could do about it. The real story behind Gothan was far more fantastic and sinister than Jarek could ever have imagined." [info from booklovers.co.uk]
