    IN A WORLD OF ANARCHY AND CHAOS, ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE... TO RULE THE WEAK

    Magnus D'Armand, the Rogue Wizard, travels the stars fighting injustice and oppression, sowing the seeds of freedom and revolution throughout the galaxy.

    But on the planet Durvie, he may have met his match: a lost colony founded by idealistic anarchists, whose civilization has long since crumbled into utter chaos. Dozens of greedy warlords, ruling through fear and violence, wage never-ending petty wars over land and loot while the common folk struggle just to survive.

    Over the centuries, the history and knowledge of the original colonists has been forgotten, and the people have reverted to a medieval state. With no central government to overthrow, it seems impossible for Magnus to restore peace and order - until he discovers the hidden knowledge harbored by the Fair Folk within the countryside's Hollow Hills.

    In this new entry in "The Rogue Wizard" series (A Wizard in Peace, LJ 9/15/96), Gar Pike and his companion Dirk DuLaine land their spaceship on a planet colonized by people from Earth who, as a result of a rejecting government, devolved into a medieval society at war. Gar and Dirk seek a solution to the constant warfare. The mixture of fantasy and science fiction blends well with Stasheff's dry wit and commentary on societal evolution.

    Magnus and his sidekick Dirk Dulaine find that planet Durvie, founded by anarchists, has regressed into squabbling statelets--except for the laser-packing, high-tech Fair Folk of the Hollow Hills, who masquerade as magic-powered fairies in order to parasitize the local Milesians. Naturally, Magnus exposes their duplicity and tricks them into accepting responsibility--but he also loses Dirk, who marries local beauty and freedom-fighter Magda and settles down. Agreeable fare for series regulars.
