Opis

Although the colonists' attempt to win independence is defeated in the quiet war, and Earth's Three Powers takes full control of their city states, the spread and divergence from the norm of new kinds of humanity continues. As tensions increase and Earth's control of the colonies is stretched to breaking point, there's talk of a second war.
