Description
On the three thousand inhabited planets of the Alastor Cluster, one man rules with considerable might. Yet, he often wanders among his subjects incognito, intervening to right a wrong or leaving well enough alone.
A young man, known only as a Rhune, is identified at the Connatic's hospital and must relearn the pomp and protocol of his ruling class on Marune. As he resumes his identity, he becomes embroiled in a mystery that leads him to the inscrutable Fwai-chi.
This new collection, released in the centenary of the author's birth, is based upon the prestigious Vance Integral Edition. It features up-to-date maps and previously unpublished photographs, chosen from family archives for the period the book was written.
