Publisher's summary
"You're listening to Live Audio Stream G371, the only official source of government approved easy listening entertainment, as sponsored by the Dominicci Corporation. It's the thirteenth day of the thirteenth month, and that means just one thing, people — it's time to PARTAYYY...!"

Bernice Summerfield needs a job. Professor Harry Burtenshaw thinks she's just the ticket. But with the people of Lyndyaz celebrating their most important festival, and the ruling Dominicci Corporation maintaining control with draconian glee, has Bernice turned up in the wrong place at the wrong time?

Plot
Calling herself Professor Bernice Kane, Benny arrives on Lyndyaz for a job at the university and is fitted with a citizen compliance chip which will record any misdemeanours she should commit whilst there, which it does when she stands for an illegal trader. She meets Professor Harry Burtenshaw, dean of the faculty of Archaeology, and his assistant, Ruth. Ruth explains to Benny that the people of Lyndyaz celebrate a different icon every month and that this month is when they celebrate Benny, whom they know as the Beneficiary.
