Eleven generations ago, a ship carrying convicts to a prison planet crashed on a nameless ocean world. Survivors built an egalitarian culture on the pads of giant water plants, winning food, shelter, and the necessities of life from vegetation growing on the pads, and from the sea. But in the water swam the kragens, armored sea-beasts who raided the gardens at will. Early settlers fed one of the largest kragens deliberately, hoping it would chase the other beasts away. Over generations, the creature grew monstrous, while a caste of Intercessors evolved to feed and worship the beast. Now, the Intercessors seek to reign over the population, using King Kragen to manipulate and terrorize their fellow pad-dwellers. Sklar Hast defies the Intercessors, and vows to slay King Kragen. For that he will face ruin, exile and the loss of his true love. His rebellion brings war and death, even as it unleashes a surge of scientific advances which promise a new age of discovery; but first, King Kragen must die - Matt Hughes

Eight of these nine stories were published between 1951 and 1955, years when Jack Vance wrote for the pulp magazines. Even in this early work, the voice of the future SFWA Grandmaster may be heard.
Jean Parlier is the first of Vance's strong female protagonists. Captivatingly amoral, Jean seeks her fortune in Abercrombie Station, providing a gravity-free paradise for the obese. In Cholwell's Chickens, she sets out (like Madouc, nearly 40 years later) to find her pedigree.
Before Gold and Iron and Komeitk Lelianr-there was Lurulu, another gold-skinned Lekthwan. Sole survivor of a spaceship crash, The Golden Girl is stranded on Earth, only of her kind. She is lionized, f ted and courted by a fascinated public, but pines for home.
Meet Miss Universe introduces 23 contestants from throughout the galaxy, some human, some monstrous. The winner will be judged by standards of beauty from her home world. She will choose her own prize, and the organizers must fulfill their obligation
Alice Tynnott is The Insufferable Red-headed Daughter of Commander Tynnott, O.T.E. (originally published as Assault on a City). After spending the first seventeen years of her life on rural planets, Alice visits urban Earth; attractive and self-assured, her confidence inspires men to think she is naive and vulnerable-but this is not the case, and scoundrels will learn a memorable lesson.
