While vestiges of advanced technology continue to operate in secret, everyone by law is required to keep at least the appearance of living in the Middle Ages. At that point a great leader, who seems to have been as mad as he was wise, enforced something called Protocol on everybody, returning mankind to a pretechnological, feudal era and freezing time there. It is a world in which human technology has advanced somewhat beyond where it is today, in which the turbulence of human progress has culminated in something called “the Years of Rage,” whose violence left scars even on the moon. This first installment in a remarkable new fantasy series acquaints us with a unique, and never fully explained, world in which futurism and archaism are strangely blended.
