The Prador are one such race, a brutal and intelligent species of giant crustaceans who have been at war with the Polity for centuries. The story follows the character of Ian Cormac, a young agent for the Polity Security Force, who is sent to investigate a derelict space station near the Prador's home world.

The supporting characters are also well-drawn, with their own motivations and personalities. Overall, 'Prador Moon' is a thrilling and thought-provoking science fiction novel that will appeal to fans of the genre.
