Their purpose is not to conquer, but to stop potential interplanetary wars, so they allow annexed planets to continue to rule themselves. They do impose one rule, however: slavery is not allowed. And Aditya is a slave planet: .1% of the people own the other 99.9%.This marvelous little short story follows what happens as the Empire's representative, the inexperienced son of a politically well-connected rich family, goes about freeing the slaves, applying the high moral principles that he learned at university -- principles as firmly held as they are untested in practice.Originally published in 1962. The military elemtent is minor, as is the scientific speculation. This story is a commentary on the socio-economics of slavery in its many forms.

Justifying a five-star rating is easy: this is a wonderful story, well told, exciting, entertaining, thought provoking, educational, and enlightening.This is the story of a benevolent empire taking over a planet of about 12,000 masters and millions of slaves. The catch is the empire does not want to govern individual planets, but it does enforce an absolute prohibition of slavery. What can freedom mean to the inhabitants of this planet and how can the government and society be restructured!?Piper wrote S.F. where the `S' May be interpreted as science, speculative, or social. On the surface his stories are rip-roaring space operas, action packed and exciting, seemingly light fair, but oh so much more. Though largely self educated he had a superb grasp of history, sociology, economics, politics, and forms of government. These are brilliantly displayed in this story without being didactic.The outcome of this story is a bit predictable as it is the genuine logical consequence of the premises, how ever this did not detract from my enjoyment of reading to the very end as I was sufficiently interested in the central characters to want to see how they are affected by the final events.It was a joy to read this electronic transcription as it is well formatted and there are no glaring typos or elisions. It is a joy to read something that has been proofread and corrected.

Having read much of Piper's work, I am convinced that he was a bit of a social Darwinist at heart, and perhaps more than a little of a Fascist. He seems to always believe that might will win out, that force and determination will overcome all obstacles, and that the mass of humanity are little more than willful pawns in the game played between greater powers. That the cunning and guileful will always lead the masses, conversely, that the masses are always weak and in need of a powerful hand to guide them. The whole intricate concept of free will doesn't seem to enter into the equation, then again, it is after all just a story.As I said, this isn't one of his better offerings in my opinion, then again, my opinion isn't what counts, yours is. Read it for yourself and decide.
