This book continues the arc started with The Bloody Sun, Heritage of Hastur, The Planet Savers, Sharra's Exile, World Wreckers, Exile's Song, and The Shadow Matrix. It revisits Lew Alton and the children of many other characters from Bloody Sun, with fresh looks at these characters as they have changed over time or become more flawed. Highly recommended, battle between good and evil with various shades of grey. This book starts out with a little known character Harm Aldaran serving as ambassador for Darkover while the Federation descends into dictatorship/civil war. The book is fast paced, filled with treachery and heroism... not as heartbreakingly sad as some of the other books in this era.
