| Summary | "Millennium" by Everett B. Cole is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story explores themes of advanced technology and its impact on civilizations, suggesting the dangerous potential of such technology when in the hands of those who are not ready for it. It introduces characters like Liewen Konar and Klion Meinora, who are engaged in recovering advanced equipment from a planet that has deteriorated over generations, set against a backdrop of a society that has regressed despite initially being gifted sophisticated tools. The opening of "Millennium" sets the stage for a narrative centered around the recovery of ancient, high-tech equipment by Konar and Meinora on a planet that has experienced a significant cultural collapse. They discover various pieces of worn technology and discuss the problematic history of previous operatives sent to this planet to preserve knowledge. As they work to assess what remains, the story shifts to a serf named Flor, who finds himself in a dire situation with an aging nobleman during a hunting expedition. The tension builds as Flor seizes a powerful coronet with mind-influencing abilities, setting off a chain of events that intertwine his fate with the intricate politics of nobility. This dual storyline hints at conflict, societal critique, and intrigue, laying an engaging groundwork for the unfolding drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
