The Summer Thieves

More about the book

Far in the glorious interstellar future, a time of riches and complex technologies, the stern but utilitarian Quinary guards and regulates the flourishing human-colonized galaxy. Under their business-like rule, a family may own a whole planet. And so two bloodlines--the Corvivios clan and the Soldavere clan--are in full possession of the lush and benign world of Verano. All looks rosy for the families, but then the happy future is dramatically and tragically overturned!
