Synopsis

Earthmen have easily conquered hundreds of planets which they have settled or exploited, after killing off or enslaving the local populations. They send a massive invading force to take over another one, inhabited by placid, wood-dwelling beaver-like creatures. But after an all too easy massacre and victory, they meet an unforseen set-back : on this planet, death is catching !
