Review & Description
PELGRAFF: In the 450 years since the Sol system war wiped out life on Earth, and within the system, humanity has not known war. That's about to change.
A civil war breaks out on Pelgraff, a planet peacefully populated by both humans and gorilla-like Pagayans,upon the introduction of a third species, the Damargs. None of Earth's ex-colony worlds want to hear about it, much less get involved. But one member of the space-based Trading League, Colleen Yrden, is raising an Interplanetary Brigade to fight on Pelgraff.
Alan McLean, a bitter ex-police officer, volunteers to train men in weapons and tactics only, but finds himself drawn into the conflict as his need to belong to something, anything, overcomes his disgust at the endeavour - and his dislike of the Pagayans, for whom he fights. His growing hatred of the brutality of the Damargs holds him there even as politics makes the prospect of eventual victory increasingly unlikely. Others may leave, but McLean is determined to stay to the end, however it turns out. Read more
