Publisher Description
Colonizing the galaxy’s near reaches, the myriad, mutated children of Earth are loosely governed by Imperium Terrestriana, and a hierarchy headed by an elite neohuman minority proactively fostering Convention, a body of civil law that featured Code Duello, and under its precepts trillions of eligible patricians and plebes wield their swords to settle all public and private disputes. Imperial explorers discover parsecs-distant Dan, a raw, idyllic world seemingly ripe for colonization, where enigmatic indigenes exhibiting superior intellect come and go like shadows, yet lack habitations or any visible infrastructure. The telepathic Danii who abhor violence are horrified when sequestered duelists begin vanishing, and repeatedly explain how mysterious “Higher Ones,” appalled by the wanton destruction of life wrought by victorious duelists, “have taken miscreant smallswordsmen into their gentle care.” The unseen Higher Ones make their acute displeasure known through precipitate action in a chilling, ironic climax that raises provocative questions about neohumankind’s place in the eternal scheme of things.

NO ONE GOES THERE NOW
It's been a thousand years and we find civilization has been destroyed and we have muted children from the earth who are looking for other colonies to live in. You have a new government and it’s controlled by neo-humans.
This science fiction book became interesting to me when the new green and gold planet is discovered, where you find superior intellectual aliens who move about in shadows and appear to be nonviolent. They are guided by the "Higher Ones", but these "Higher Ones" have never been seen by these aliens. These higher ones made me think of angels overlooking and caring for the planet.
Once the planet Dani has been discovered the new visitors bring with them violence and disruption. This brings great displeasure to the aliens of Dani. Will the " Higher Ones" be able to bring about peace before this new planet is destroyed?
This is a hard core science fiction book with a lot of action and violence. Even though I am not normally a science fiction reader and this book at times was hard to understand, I feel any science fiction buff is going to devour this book. It will leave you with many questions about our future universe and mankind's existence.
