Dans un futur très lointain, les Humains ont essaimé à travers les galaxies. Toutes les planètes colonisées sont gouvernées par le Polity, à quelques rares exceptions. La principale menace qui pèse sur le Polity, ce sont les Pradors, une race d'extraterrestres plus que belliqueux, malins et friands de chair humaine...Ian Cormac est l'un des agents du Polity. Soldat surentraîné, il est envoyé en mission sur une planète pour rétablir l'ordre après un génocide commis par les Pradors. Mais ces créatures monstrueuses ne sont pas les seuls ennemis. Au sein de sa propre équipe, Cormac découvre un complot de grande ampleur mené par un opposant au Polity qui met tout en œuvre pour l'éliminer. Tandis que Cormac lutte pour sa survie, il se remémore ses années d'enfance : où et pourquoi son père est-il mort ? Pourquoi sa mère lui a toujours caché son passé ? Et surtout, quel est ce drone en forme de scorpion qu'il a aperçu plusieurs fois au cours de sa vie, telle une ombre bienveillante et terrifiante à la fois ?

Des pêcheurs qui, bien décidés à détruire cette abomination une fois pour toutes, unissent leurs forces... Ainsi débute une course-poursuite planétaire, une traque dans laquelle seront embarqués trois personnages pour le moins curieux : Erlin, une scientifique à la recherche d'un capitaine immortel, Keech, un flic ressuscité après 700 ans dans le but de retrouver un criminel, et Janer, en mission pour les Frelons, espèce terrestre ayant développé une intelligence communautaire.Mais ce qui les attend sur les traces de l'Écorcheur, est bien plus qu'une aventure d'une rare violence. Car Spatterjay, aux confins de la galaxie, loin du couvert des lois gouvernementales du Polity, réserve d'autres surprises...
