TELEPATH ALERT! Democracy is crumbling in the Interstellar Dominion Electorates as the reactionary LORDS party plans a coup to seize power. If Dar and Samantha can't get their message to Terra in time, nothing will prevent the forces of totalitarianism from taking control. What's more, every police ship in space has just been alerted that Dar and Samantha are dangerous telepaths to be shot on sight. Dar and Sam meet a colorful cast of characters along to way who join their quest, including a wandering poet, a tech-savvy monk, and a wealthy medieval reenactor, to name just a few. Suspense and adventure abound as Dar and friends are pursued across the galaxy, from a far-flung prison planet to the capital on Earth, as they race to save the world from itself. The chase is on in this prequel to the Warlock of Gramarye series.

Autorenporträt
Christopher Stasheff (1944-2018) was a teacher, thespian, techie, and author of science fiction & fantasy novels. One of the pioneers of "science fantasy," his career spaned four decades, 44 novels (including translations into Czech, German, Italian, Russian, and Japanese), 29 short stories, and seven 7 anthologies. His novels are famous for their humor (and bad puns), exploration of comparative political systems, and philosophical undertones. He has always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and has tried to compensate by teaching college. When teaching proved too real, he gave it up in favor of writing full time. He tends to pre-script his life, but can't understand why other people never get their lines right. This causes a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and four children. He writes novels because it's the only way he can be the director, the designer, and all the actors too. Chris died in 2018 from Parkinson's Disease. He will be remembered by his friends, family, fans, and students for his kind and gentle nature, and for his witty sense of humor. His terrible puns, however, will be forgotten as soon as humanly possible.
