Reseña del editor:

"Cadmian's Choice" return's to the world of Corus to continue the epic trilogy begun in "Alector's Choice". It is the story of the fall of a great civilization and the tale of the Alector, Colonel Dainyl, and of Captain Mykel, the Corean human with special abilities. Corus has been redesigned to become the new home of a superior race from a distant world whose very life depends on drawing sustenance from the biological life force of a planet. These plans are supervised by a staff of Alectors, who in effect rule the world. The Alectors alone have access to the huge flying Pteridons and to the superior weapons that underpin their psychic talents. The time is now fast approaching for the transfer of the whole population from the old world, nearly bled dry of life force, to Corus. But neither the Alectors (who will be reduced in status when the real powers arrive) nor the local humans (who seem destined to become no more than cattle, though they know nothing of this) are ready. And the mysterious Ancient Ones, the true natives of Corus who are assumed to have died out in aeons past, survive. They have powers of their own. The situation builds toward an explosive climax.
