The high destiny

by Dan Morgan, Richard M. Powers

HALDOR LIVES!
Emperor of the Thirteen Worlds for three centuries, Haldor the Magnificent - sometimes called The Immortal - determined to take a bridge - and to give up his immortality. Having brought the beginnings of order to a world gone decadent, it was his his intent to provide for orderly succession to the throne. Civilized traditions would be given time to gain a foothold. But the forces of curruption were not to die without a struggle. And their ruthless willingness to commit unspeakable horrors tears a savage planet to shreds - ravaging the beautiful Annrith, threatening the destruction of all that Haldor had built.

About the author

Dan Morgan (1925–2011) was an English science fiction writer and a professional guitarist, mainly active as a writer from the early 1950s through the mid-1970s. In addition to his fiction, he wrote two manuals relating to his musical profession.

Morgan is best known for his Sixth Perception novels, featuring a group of characters possessed of psychic powers; the three Venturer Twelve space operas, co-authored with his colleague John Kippax (a fourth was written by Kippax alone); and the somewhat tongue-in-cheek novel The Richest Corpse in Show Business.
