Description -
Once a glittering center of culture and the arts, the colony world of Reis has been ravaged by a wasting plague. Only a few of the planet's best and brightest--artists, poets, dancers, philosophers--have been spared. As anarchy, suspicion, and cynicism spread, a handful of survivors struggles to keep hope alive.
