This 4.25 x7 softcover has 570 pages. This gracefully written sequel to Golden Witchbreed powerfully depicts the impact of a high-technology civilization on a decaying planet. Ten years after having served as Earth's first envoy to Orthe, which is struggling to survive after a planetwide holocaust millennia ago, Lynne de Lisle Christie returns there as an advisor to PanOceania, one of Earth's giant multinational companies, which is seeking to discover the technological secrets of the Goldens, the ruling race that had destroyed itself while almost obliterating Orthe. Christie seeks to help the native people, some of whom have been her friends, some her enemies, but all closely bound in her memories and loyalties.

The sequel to "Golden Witchbreed" tracing Lynne Christie's return to Orthe - a post-technological world laid waste since its dominant culture destroyed itself two millennia earlier. Christie walks a dangerous path, trying to fight trade exploitation and diffuse conflict. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.
