A musical clue:
The novel shares it’s title with a Moody Blues song, from an album inspired by space travel (whether that’s outer or inner space, depends on your point of view… and state of mind).

Trilogy about a race of mercenaries driven to near extinction by a double-cross by their former employer. Hint: Author's name was disguised due to prejudices of the time.
