As the Adjudicator who has the power to prevent human occupation of whole continents on colonised planets, to protect indigenous species, David Fuller is an important man. He is also highly principled and conscientious so seen as an impediment by many planetary governments and corporations. Just when the pressure is getting too much he is offered a secondment with an expedition to the Matriarchal planet of Ephesus, led by an old flame. The offer is as irresistible as the lily which is the goal of the expedition.Unknown to him he is being used as the respectable front man for a plot with sinister purposes. Betrayed by his lover and blamed by the vengeful Ephesians when all goes wrong, he falls into a life of misery and hardship. When politicians try to use his family for their own ends he starts his fight back, helped by those who believe in his innocence.Both an ecological adventure in a recognisable future and a fall and rise novel that looks as if it will become a revenge story it becomes something much more nuanced and redemptive. This is "soft" SF, where the machines and technology are of less importance than the lives and romances of the characters.Some violence and mild scenes of a sexual nature.
