- Synopsis
- The Interplanetary Relations Bureau was founded to bring new star systems into the Galactic Federation by encouraging each planet to form a democratic planet-wide government--but without ever seeming to use direct influence. The people of Gurnil, particularly on the continent of Kurr had stymied the Bureau for over 400 years. Their Kings were as despotic and at times cruel as anywhere, but had always been smart enough to keep the people just happy enough not to provoke a revolt. In desperation, the Bureau has now turned to Jef Forzon, a man more used to evaluating paintings, music and poetry than fomenting revolution. Yet, just perhaps, the unique sensitivity to beauty of the people of Kurr might, just might, give him a lever.
