A World Between
Since its colonization
by Earth, Pacifica has flourished. Now, under the guidance of Chairman
Carlotta Madigan and her lover and Minister of Media, Royce Lindbold, it is the galaxy's supreme electronic democracy, a Utopian world where
both sexes equally serve and are served by the Media.
But there
are those who would have it otherwise, who have come to Pacifica to turn its very freedom into an instrument of its bondage, who have launched a devastating media war on Pacifica to divide... and conquer.
