The Federation eventually succumbs to political and economic decay, and in turn a new entity, the Empire, rises from the ashes to begin the cycle of expansion, greatness, and decline again.

Some planets retain faster-than-light travel, others sink all the way to squalling barbarism, all are beset by crisis and decay. The Sword Worlds—named for legendary swords such as Gram, Durandal, and Excalibur—retain their industrial technology, albeit under the rule of feudal warlords. When not squabbling amongst themselves, the Sword Worlders sally forth in their spacecraft to pillage the remains of the Old Federation.

Trask is committed to settling down with the love of his life, Elaine Karvall, heiress to a fortune built on steel mills. A hero, driven by a crime against those he loves and must protect, seeks, if not justice, then vengeance. Of course as Shakespeare knew, the inner life of the protagonist, a meditation on vengeance itself and its spiritual cost, is every bit as compelling as the external complications.

And Lucas Trask is every bit as conflicted as Hamlet. In order to achieve his revenge against Dunnan, Trask must plunge headlong into what he opposes, the practice of being a Space Viking. What was academic becomes real. The darkest moment comes when Trask encounters one of his victims. Yet Trask is not a nihilist.

Dunnan is an elusive foe and to build is to plan for the future. Raiding gives way to trading. Trask is increasingly absorbed in the details of developing the planets he rules under the overlordship of Angus, now angling to be King of Gram, and the growing sense that someday Trask and his miniature empire will need no overlord. His quest brings him into contact with the Gilgameshers, an ethno-religious group devoted to trade in effect Space Jews. Trask also encounters space voyagers from the planet Marduk, with their own grudge against Andray Dunnan.

Marduk is a constitutional monarchy retaining a high level of technological ability. Federation by H. Beam Piper Other authors: See the other authors section. Series: Terro-Human Future History.

The sun warmed Mark Howell's back pleasantly. Miles Gilbert watched the landscape slide away below him, its quilt of rounded treetops mottled red and orange in the double sunlight and, in shaded places, with the natural yellow of the vegetation of Kwannon.

Standing at the armorglass front of the observation deck, and watching the mountains rise and grow on the horizon, Conn Maxwell gripped the metal hand-rail with painful intensity, as though trying to hold back the airship by force. She closed her mind to the voices around her and stared at the map spread on the table between the two great candlesticks, trying to imagine herself high above everything, looking down like a bird.

It isn't any worse than Domesticated Type C, and that got cut down to size. But his brother Charley and the boys of his generation would have future to talk about. And so would he, and Lynne Fawzi. He really seemed relieved that it was settled. References to this work on external resources.
