From the back of the book:

Every thousand years, Fire Time came to Ishtar...
a time when the giant red sun Anu
approached, scorching the planet and driving the
barbarian hordes from the north.

For once Larreka, commander of the Legions of
the Gathering in the south, hoped
that the Tassui might be driven back. Perhaps this
time Ishtar's civilization would survive
the barbaric onslaught.

But a warlord had arisen among the invaders --
and under Arnanak, the Tassui were
relentlessly sweeping south... bringing even more
destruction than the death-dealing rays
of the Demon Sun.

Suddenly the men of Earth, stationed on Ishtar,
found themselves torn between
the two warring factions...

Another masterpiece. Not often does one read the scene in which the villian dies, through a layer of tears.
