of a young man; a Gormoni Flower, who is on the verge of maturity. Promising yet to come is the terrible power of projecting into outer space a weapon, the Flower-and-Vine, that spews gorgeously lethal, poisonously psychotic emanations.

Book Description

   A sinister political plot is brewing on Maasart, a planet protected by the Nexus Empire.

The hidden scheme is aimed at controlling those children in line to inherit ruling positions on Maasart by
mis-educating them of the true history, structure, and aims of the Empire.

   It falls to Grandmother Extateira, Senior Domas and ruler of all humans on Maasart to ferret out this
Fifth Column which is working against the rightful rulers, and thus undermining the government.

Grandmother's suspicions lead her on a cross-country adventure with a granddaughter,
young Iskandash, one of the future inheritors of the executive class on Maasart.

   This disciplined convoy marches through the splendors of World Maasart, surveying its beauty and its
dangers as it pushes toward the fortress of Red Lady, one of the six human "Keeps".

Here we have, in period costume, the fascinating story of a Royal's entire life on an alien world.

   The natives are scary enough and if your imagination is now piqued, Dear Reader,

then continue on til you meet the genetically engineered technicolor
hermaphrodite monsters called "Molendo-bas", who are held in stasis until invoked to mete out
retribution on this planet.

   Have a nice trip...

   This is the first volume of the Nexus Empire series,

the writing style of this book harks back to the 1950’s,

honoring those who inspired the author to set off on the saga to follow.

   Back when Andre Norton had Witch World and The Beastmaster out on the shelves (among others),
when such luminaries as Sturgeon and Dick were playing games
on poor Campbell’s adamantine head to get their smaller pieces published, and
sainted Hugo Gernsback was a name yet fresh in the memories of Science Fiction fans everywhere.
