Om denne e-bog
AN EMPIRE OF FOUR THOUSAND WORLDS
The Pact of Mankind is a dinosaur lumbering toward oblivion; hedged about by alien enemies, rotten with decadence and corruption, run by competing oligarchies of criminal corporations, but ruled by a single man _ the High Secretary of the Pact.
If the High Secretary should die, the contest to succeed him would draw in:
The head of the armed services, using the Fleet as a tool of his political will;Powerful corporations, acting with calculated ruthlessness to loose alien enemies into the heart of the empire;The High Secretary's children and his faithless widow, pawns in a struggle which only one need survive;A secret cabal among the non-human races enslaved to do Mankind's labor, now ready to supplant their masters; andRebellious troops from the empire's borders, determined to place one of their own sort in the High Secretary's chair.
If the High Secretary should die, it would be feeding time in the piranha tank.
And the High Secretary is dead!

Om forfatteren
Called "a superb talent" by The New York Times, Andre Norton was a legend in science fiction, and one of our greatest storytellers. She wrote science fiction novels of very high quality for nearly five decades, beginning with the now-classic novel Star Man's Son in 1952. Many of today's top writers, including C.J. Cherryh and Joan D. Vinge, have cited her as a primary influence on their own work. She was Guest of Honor at the 1989 World Science Fiction Convention, and received the Grand Master award from the Science Fiction Writers of America and the Lifetime Achievement Award of the World Fantasy Convention. Astoundingly prolific, with over thirty books in her celebrated "Witch World" series alone, she introduced three generations of SF readers to SF and fantasy, both through her critically acclaimed YA novels and her adult works, and remains today as one of the most popular authors in both fields.
