Set in a distant binary star system, warring families struggle for supremacy. Against a backdrop of cataclysmic conditions, an alien race and a society forced to come to terms with the cyclical changes of their colony world, politics and intrigue thrive. Caselberg gives us a new interpretation of a classic tale. "Really liked this book, overall. Couldn't put it down. there's some brilliant writing in there, and the characters are really well done. Even the anatagonist characters' actions are understandable and rational, and for a long time, the story keeps you guessing on who is pulling the strings. The plot is very complex." -- Goodreads Reviewer
