"A group of people who live on Deucalion, a new planet, attempt to overthrow the President who rigged his election. The Elokoi, the aliens, are being denied their homeland, and had been used in genetic experiments on 'Old Earth', which produced the Children of Icarus - people capable of telepathy but with reduced life spans."
