The blurb on p. i tells us that Jill Conway and other human beings in Primavera want to help the civilized centauroids against the northern barbarians but that Captain Yri Dejerine thinks that all the resources in Primavera should be devoted to the interstellar war. Should Primaverans betray Earth or their Ishtarian friends?
The back cover blurb tells us that, when the red sun, Anu, scorches Ishtar, the northern barbarians move south, this time led by a new warlord, Arnanak. Larreka, commander of the Legions of the southern Gathering hopes to drive them back and this time preserve civilization. Earthmen on Ishtar are torn between two sides. At least that is what the blurb says.
Thus, the two blurbs present human and Ishtarian points of view, respectively. And that is all from here for now. I have been watching the news from another part of Earth with interest...

Kaor, Paul!
A soldier's duty has to be first for the State he has sworn allegiance to, so I agree with Captain Dejerine.
Ad astra! Sean
