From Publishers Weekly
Gelion and Rire, two rival empires, stand on the brink of war in Throne Price, a stand-alone SF novel that reads like a sequel, by Canadian authors Lynda Williams and Alison Sinclair. Readers who persist through the confusing verbiage at the opening will find a decent, if not particularly memorable, yarn.

Book Description
In the far reaches of space the descendants of humanity have evolved into two vastly different cultures. On the planet Rire, the Reetions use computer technology to ensure comfort and equality for all. On Gelion, genetically modified Sevolites adhere to a strict hierarchy based on racial purity and ones ability to wield a sword. As war threatens to destroy both worlds, two men, Erien of Rire and Amel of Gelion, attempt to preserve the fragile peace. Together they hope to unravel the complex web of intrigues and ancient hatred that threatens to destroy humanity itself. This is book four of the Okal Rel Saga, a massive ten part epic, of love, war, betrayal, and hope.
