Publisher's Synopsis
History repeating? Humans have colonized planets of "The Fertile Crescent" shaped like the original cradle of civilization of Earth. Twelve Unions. Peace is prevalent.
The Patagonia Enterprise was the first to leave Earth but met with seeming disaster. Wormhole! Lost! Fortune favors the bold. Two systems! Graham's Point. Earthlike. New Patagon, a harsh world with two Gifts! An asteroid belt and Phibbian terraformers with a mysterious Gift to genetically alter life forms. Northern Cousins had forsaken them. No matter! New Patagon now has twelve island groups on this world and are one with the world and cosmos. "Tree huggers."
They became Tehuelches, or "Fierce People" like their ancestors from Earth. A Shamanry was born leading the planet with tricks and superstition until one child came along. Elroy who wanted to discover all the Gifts and Gift Ones.
But the European Union who found them want it all before any of the other Unions can bring emissaries! An armada came. The Blitz was thwarted by the chief treehugger Elroy, who created weapons from what New Patagon had. Rocks. Gift-alloy and railguns. The not-war begins!
In The Age of Elroy, he hopes to teach the "Pasteys" a hard lesson under his Eldermost, Admiral General Mitchell-Mumford. But will the heir self-Raise, usurping Eldermost mother and Chief Executive Landsmen Council? Will his ego as exalted Warrior cause their society to crumble?
