As humanity falls victim to a much more powerful race that doesn’t even seem to know we exist, a group sets out to uncover a weapon that might just be powerful enough to defeat the alien threat. I think the most interesting part of this book is seeing what happens to the humans on worlds conquered by the aliens; they are left, stripped of all their technology, to fend for themselves. At times the novel is a little slow, and it spends way too much time describing things that turn out to be pointless. All in all there are good parts to this story and not-so good parts, but the overall plot is interesting enough to keep the reader interested through even the slowest parts of the story.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345402944, Mass Market Paperback)WORLDS OF NO RETURNHumans had finally gone to the stars, as the dreamers had always hoped; celestial stretches of the galaxy became the playgrounds of a new spacefaring race. But now these worlds were being taken over by Titans, creatures with unimaginable, godlike powers, supremely indifferent to humanity's survival. There was one chance to stop them. Helena, one of the Titan-dominated planets, concealed an untapped, hundred-year-old weapon--Priam's Lens. Getting to Helena would not be difficult, but activating the lens was another matter. No one had ever returned from a Titan encounter. They simply disappeared--status unknown. Now a small ragtag crew made up of scientists, warriors, a priest, and a stowaway--naval officer Gene Harker--were ready to pit themselves against the greatest power in the universe. With the help of a mad space pirate, they descended upon the deadly planet. They will succeed--or die trying . . .
