The year is 2175 AD. The human race now occupies six planets in one corner of the Milky Way galaxy. The 'Earth Commonwealth of Planets', under the wise and benevolent rule of Elizabeth V, is peaceful and properous.
But there are grumblings and greed for power - treason is afoot. Prince Ferdinand, governor of the planet Megran, has ambitions to usurp 'The Most Royal Throne of All the Planets' by force of arms. His fleet of space warships is gathering. His armada awaits but his word to go.
Can Elizabeth V keep her throne? Can the free civilsation of the Commonwealth survive? The fate of fourteen billion people rests on the brainwave of a young farmer on a frontier planet.
And what of the love between Lars, a commoner, and the Lady Caroline - heir to the throne? War brought them together. But will the battlefield wrench them apart?
