Publisher's Synopsis
Ecce and Old Earth is volume two of the Cadwal Chronicles trilogy, by SF Grandmaster Jack Vance.
Glawen Clattuc takes a desperate chance to free his kidnapped father from a prison camp on the viciously primitive continent named Ecce. Meanwhile, Wayness Tamm travels to decadent Old Earth to search for the Charter of Conservancy, the thousand-year-old document which protects the pristine planet Cadwal.
