IN A POLICE STATE, LIBERTY IS TREASON
Interstellar liberator Magnus Gallowglass, the renegade psychic wizard, travels the stars fighting injustice and oppression. But this time the Rogue Wizard may have encountered a tyrant even he canât overthrow: a stern Protector whose oppressive regime makes Oliver Cromwellâs Commonwealth look like a Sunday-school picnic.
For hundreds of years, this lost colony planet has preserved order by dictating every detail of its citizensâ livesâwhere they live, what they think, even whom they may love and marry. Any dissent is punished with the torturerâs rack.
So successful is this brutal system that Magnus is hard-pressed to find anyone willing to oppose itâuntil he recruits a pair of star-crossed lovers to lead the revolution, and reeducates a band of deluded would-be aristocrats to become the planetâs new rulers.
Here is Christopher Stasheff in top form: swashbuckling, stylish, and slightly subversive adventure from the author of the bestselling Warlock of Gramarye series.
