This is a historical novel set in old Quebec In 1637 the French colony at Quebec numbered only a few hundred troops. Cardinal Richelieu held sway in Paris while England was sliding towards civil war. Ownership of the new country was up for grabs as the warring Iroquois and Algonquin tribes chose sides. But when a rare Indian diplomatic mission shows up to discuss peace talks, Meneval de Saint-Denis is faced with an impossible decision: follow orders from his superiors or support an old friend.

The inhuman Rulers of the galaxy sent three fleets to learn what had happened to the world located by Captain North and the Survey Team he led. Neither a soul nor a message returned. The fourth time, the Rulers sent a single man: Nils Hansen. Commissioner Hansen had a mind that saw the shortest path to each task's completion and a ruthless determination to do what the task required. The cost - to himself and whoever happened to be in the way - didn't matter. Hanson's Special Units had kept his planet safe from the most sophisticated and violent criminals in the galaxy. Now Hansen was being sent to penetrate a spacetime enigma which had made gods or demons of the first humans to discover it. He would succeed or die. Northworla place of slashing violence and mystic transformation Northworla place of treachery and dazzling beauty Northworla place of honor, of faith, and of love. Hansen's iron will and strong arm confront godlike power and godlike cunning while a galaxy trembles for the outcome. And if Hansen dies - he will not die alone!
