Primer for the Spiral Politic (Post-War Edition)
5: The Blood Coteries
Era: Posthuman historical. Technology: Variable, occasionally time-active.
The demise of Earth was followed by a period in which there was, effectively, no such thing as the human species; a period in which humanity suddenly found itself released from its heritage, with genetic manipulation and vast tracts of space separating the survivors from everything they'd once been.
Many "posthuman" societies inevitably became glorious, grotesque Princedoms, and none more so than those of the Blood Coteries who — like the Medici and Borgia families of antiquity — commissioned the greatest art and culture of their age even as they conducted unimaginable vendettas and poisoned their potential rivals...

Movers is an interesting story in the overall Faction Paradox universe. This serial, a continuation from previous stories, introduces some new elements that I found fascinating. These new elements opened up the world in interesting ways, but did overwhelm me. Some of the new characters were fascinating, almost to the point that they stole the show. There is a character that I would love to know more about.
Lawrence Miles penned a great script to keep the overall story moving forward, but also gave us a story-of-the-week that kept me entertained.
The voice acting was excellent, with the new additions to the cast giving some excellent performances, and the sound design was great.
