Krinata, a loyal servant of the empire, is a debriefing officer for the emperor Zinzik, (A position similar to researcher, as far as I can surmise). When the emperor, an evil man, plots to rid the world of the near immortal Dushau who have helped to found their civilization, Krinata becomes involved inadvertently. Soon it becomes a race against time to rescue the Dushau before its too late.This was truly a fascinating read! The Dushau are a fascinating race, of blue, humanoids who are near-immortal. They possess a telepathic gift (although the Dushau really deny this), and they work in something called an 'oliat' which is a group of Dushau who work together, and have a sort of communal mind. The hero, Jindigar, is a Dushau prince and a rebel. His telepathic gifts make him a really sensitive yet pragmatic type which I found appealing. Krinata is a smart capable non-whiny heroine who makes mistakes but knows how to get things done! Minor characters such as Arlai, the ships AI, and Storm, the Ensyvian were also well done. (I would've loved to have a description of the Ensyvian's, I could never quite figure out what they were supposed to look like)!
Lichtenberg writes Science Fiction that you can really sink your teeth into. This is an older book, but better than most modern fiction. I recommend this book for fans of character driven drama, or those who like telepathic man characters! Excellent.
