Superintendent
It's a tricky thing, managing a conquered people. Especially when they've been under the imperial yoke for a couple centuries. Add an economy which has dried up under them, a clear difference between first-class citizens and second-class natives, and an empire bankrupted by one war and dumbfounded by how they will pay for the next, and the situation becomes challenging indeed. Especially when you've only been a police detective your whole life, and never had any intention to even visit this planet. Then, being shoved into the position of District Superintendent comes as a real shock. A native culture, vibrant and alive, wants to grow. A new Superintendent's innocence may open the door to revolution. And when relics of humanity's ancient past demand payment in the present, no side is safe. From the distant backwater rolls a mystery which will shake empires. Only one superintendent, newest on the scene, can save a world from the sins of empires past and future. Included is a brief addendum which draws the lines between the parallel world of 1930's Africa under British colonialism, through our own time, into the future. Mystery, science fiction, and a tale of how personal bonds can move worlds, Superintendent is a story about the small people on whom large empires hinge.
