Synopsis
On the dying world of Kesrith, the mri — a proud warrior race — face extinction after their employers, the alien regul, betray them at the end of a long war against humanity. A young human soldier becomes entangled with the last survivors and must choose between his own kind and the ancient, honor-bound culture he has come to respect.
