As Cluster opens, the alien envoy Pnotl of Sphere Knyfh seeks help from Sphere Sol in a shared galactic-level crisis Galaxy Andromeda has discovered the secret of energy transfer and intends to use it to steal the basic energy of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Knyfh offers the secret of aura transfer on the understanding that Sphere Sol will spread the technology to help create a galactic coalition to find and defeat agents of Andromeda. Sol's highest-Kirlian individual is Flint, a green-skinned native of Outworld, who has a Kirlian aura of 200, an eidetic memory (useful for memorizing the complex equations of Kirlian transfer that he will need to communicate to other spheres). He has extraordinary intelligence and is highly adaptable. His mission is complicated, however, by the fact that he is pursued everywhere by a very high Kirlian female Andromedan agent, and somehow the Andromedans are able to detect and trace Kirlian transfers.
Flint embarks upon several missions to bring transfer technology to neighboring spheres, inhabiting various alien forms. His efforts are successful despite attacks and sabotage by the Andromedan agent. Through the conflict, however, the mutual attraction of their two vastly superior auras begins to undermine their individual loyalty to their own spheres. Flint and a group of other entities recover the information that will allow them to detect and trace transfers, and a member of the group is revealed as the Andromedan agent. One result is the catastrophic destruction of the local habitat.
Flint and his nemesis are transferred into alien Mintakan bodies to survive. Choosing to leave things with parity between their two galaxies, Flint and the Andromedan mate and remain together until their auras fade (which happens rapidly, since their physical bodies have been destroyed).

This is a fantastic first book in a series from what I consider the golden age of Piers Anthony. As one of the other reviewers said, there are some typos, but not nearly enough to make it unreadable. On average I noticed maybe one typo every 1 to 2 pages (6" Kindle pages). I have read many of Piers Anthony's early works in paperback and I don't recall any that didn't have a few typos. Actually I was quite pleased to see Piers' use of overstriking lines over letters and symbols in the aliens names and language to come across perfectly in the Kindle version of this book. You can get a good idea if you'll like it if you read the free sample which is two chapters. The real twists and turns take place much later though.Product details

Cluster (Audible Audio Edition) Piers Anthony Basil Sands Audible Studios Books Reviews
This edition of this book gets four of five stars. I read this as a teen, it was in my grandmother's bookcase. Now, as then, I was transported to a different reality. It, and those that follow, are stories that strike true. I was very glad to see them come to digital because my old copies, inheirited from my grand parent, are fragile. Flint and his decendents are welcome old friends.
My one quibble - I wish someone with a fresh eye had proofed these. There are errors, mostly what look to be typos.
Mr. Anthony, I hope you can update these with a corrected version. And thank you for making them available to another generation.
Hum...
ok first off I love piers anthony but this book was ok at best kinda dragged on it was a time waster which is why i got it but there are better books out there
Be careful what you ask your pals to recommend in the way of authors. Never read much Piers A. So, when another Anthony I know suggested him, and I was fresh out of ideas, I did. The book is interesting conceptually, and probably if I had not been reading a ton of interspecies war stuff already, I might be more enthusiastic. I read this and the following book, but I'm stopping there cuz I find the whole war between galaxies for energy annoying. Just as I find the whole Middle East conflict here on Earth annoying. So, I'm done. I may head back in the direction of Jane Austen.
This one of the first series I read, and I still love it, nearly 40 years later. Never gets old.
An absolute pleasure to read. Unlike most sci-fi the story develops through alien thought, emotion, and culture from inside well constructed depictions of their minds. Ever wondered what it's like to fully BE an alien? Read this and find out - multiple times!
I had this series when I was a teen. I decided to purchase it for the so I could relive the magic of this series, Anthony has a real talent for creating believable but truly alien aliens. The story itself is fantastic, but I have to take away points for the total lack of proofreading in the text. It is very distracting to run across spelling and syntax errors in EVERY page. Hopefully this will end up being re-submitted to store in the future with the errors fixed. Sadly until then, I am not purchasing the rest of the series. of course Your Milage May Vary.
