SynopsisWhat lies beneath the millions of orbiting nanotech satellites that shroud the world called Haze? Major Keir Roget's mission is to make planetfall in secret, find out, and report back to his superiors in the Federation, the Chinese-dominated government that rules Earth and the colonized planets. For all his effectiveness as a security agent, Roget is troubled by memories of an earlier mission. When he was assigned to covert duty in the Noram backcountry town of St. George, he not only discovered that the long-standing Saint culture was neither as backward nor as harmless as his superiors believed, but he barely emerged with his life and sanity whole. Now, scouting Haze, he finds a culture seemingly familiar, yet frighteningly alien, with hints of a technology far superior to that of the Federation. Yet he is not certain how much of what he sees is real-or how to convey a danger he cannot even prove to his superiors, if he can escape Haze., Sent by the Chinese-dominated Federation that rules Earth and its colony planets to infiltrate the satellite-shrouded planet Haze, Maj. Keir Roget discovers a culture both familiar and disturbingly alien, stirring up memories of a mission that nearly cost him his sanity. This psychological sf thriller by the prolific author of the multivolume "Recluce" fantasy series incorporates carefully delineated characters with believable far-future scenarios. Modesitt's fans as well as readers of hard sf should appreciate this story of imminent interstellar war. Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
