Glaice: An Arbiter Tale

By: L. Warren Douglas

For 12,000 years Arbiters have kept the peace among the seven races of mankind. But the ancient datablocks that hold the secrets of Arbiter John Minder XXIII's starfleet and the homeworld of his Poletzai troopers are missing. Now has only his ordinary human cleverness to keep the peace among the planets of the Xarafeille Stream.For almost 12,000 years Tep Inutkak's Ikut ancestors, white-furred men adapted to high arctic life, have migrated from pole to pole in a never ending two-year cycle, but now mantees -- seal-like humans who occupy the equatorial islands -- claim they are the owners of planet Glaice, and they threaten the ikuts' vital migration routes. Rogue ikuts respond by feasting upon roasted mantees.Tep, a graduate student, believes the Planetary Charter will show that Ikuts were the first settlers, and are the rightful owners. But where is the Charter? The Arbiter will not help unless it can be found (and also, a copy of an old data module the believes is on Glaice.) Amid escalating violence, Tep must probe deep into his planet's past and his race's ancient graves for the ikuts salvation --and the mantees' and the Arbiter's as well.
