| Review Summary |
Have you ever wondered about the history of Graymarye, or the D'Armand family? Where it all began, and why? Those questions and more are answered in this riveting tale of Dar Armanda and his quest to save democracy.
Living on a prison planet is a little dreary, but things soon look up for Dar when finds himself traveling to Terra to save it from the bureaucrats. Along the way, he and his lovely traveling companion meet up with a colorful cast of characters who join the quest. Suspense and adventure abound as Dar and friends are chased through the galaxy as they race to save the world from itself.
