| Plot |
Democracy imposed from without is the severest form of tyranny read the motto that hung on every wall of the base.
But Cultural Survey trainee Cedd Farrari, sent as an observer to Branoff IV, was beginning to have his doubts about the value of non-interference in alien societies.
Appalled by the plight of the starving, primitive Olz, he makes up his mind to lead them in revolt against their masters, the aristocratic Rascz - only to find that the situation is more dangerous and complicated than he imagined.
On the world Branoff IV, in the lovely land of Scorvif, live the rascz, an industrious, artistic, superbly civilized race. Few of them are aware that their prosperous civilization is totally dependent upon the olz, a race of slaves owned by their god-emperor. The old till the fields and work the forests and mines, and their reward is starvation and the vicious, caustic stroke of the zrilm whip.
