CONTROLLING AUTHORITY
Andre Norton -- Grand Mistress of science fiction -- presents a grand
tapestry of the far-flung interstellar future, in which the first starships
from Earth have burst out into the universe...only to run straight into the
restraining grasp of the stagnant alien federation known as Central Control.
Only as interstellar mercenaries can humans go to the stars; the aliens who
already dominate the galaxy allow no other recourse. But when Swordsman
Third Class Kana Karr and his comrades-in-arms are betrayed and abandoned on
a hostile world by their alien masters, the warriors from Earth begin a
desperate but glorious march across a planet whose every sword is against
them. Their actions may doom humanity's future...or lead the way to an
empire of their own!
Four thousand years later, galactic civilization is collapsing, and the
underfunded crew of an exploration starship is forced to set down on an
uncharted planet: a mysterious, abandoned world that is achingly
beautiful -- and hauntingly familiar. Ranger Sergeant Kartr, telepath and
stellar Patrolman, searches with his crewmates for the source of a beacon
which may mean escape for them all. What he finds is far stranger: the first
clue to what may become the greatest revelation in galactic history!
The defining events of future history -- as only Andre Norton could tell
them!
