The opening of the novel introduces Glavour, the Jovian Viceroy of Earth, who is depicted as a tyrannical figure exercising his dominance over the Earthlings. The narrative quickly escalates as Glavour's lust for a young Earth woman, Lura, leads to a confrontation between him and Damis, who comes to her defense. As the tensions heighten, it is clear that a revolt is brewing among the oppressed Earthmen. This initial conflict sets the stage for a larger rebellion, showcasing Damis's internal struggle between his dual heritage and the impending war against a repressive regime. The opening establishes an urgent tone filled with intrigue, conflict, and the promise of a significant uprising to come.
