Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience. Views: 158

Welcome to the League of Planetary Systems!
The League of Planetary System was founded in the not too distant future. Several planets in the Milky Way Galaxy joined together for trade and mutual protection. The League continues to grow and new planets petition for admittance. The citizens of the League represent many species including the ogre-like Goranthi, the insectoid Martok, and the felinoid Katalan. As advanced and diverse as the League is, it's problems are frighteningly familiar--corruption, murder, genocide.
Frank and Jo Carey created the League as the setting for many of their science fictions tales which span genres from Frank's military science fiction and space opera to Jo's sci-fi adventure and sci-fi romance.
The outer fringes of League space are still being explored and new planets continue to petition for membership. The League is part of a larger multiverse providing an endless supply of tales to be told.
Each book and series set in the LPS can be read as a standalone, but each League book is given a League Tale Number which appears on the copyright page of the book. The League Tale Number indicates the order in which the book was published and, should anyone ever want to, the order in which the overall League Tales should be read. Views: 151
