I read it YEARS ago and am looking for it again. It's a scifi book. I remember it was something about an orb. It had 2 guys flying ships called Trodat Star Fighters. I found this website

which is someone's screenplay based on the book but the dink doesn't say WHAT the book is called or who wrote it.
Anyone able to help me out here?
