Elder Race

This was a brilliantly written story told from two opposing points of view in alternating chapters.

One version of the tale is told from the point of view of a very depressed anthropologist from a high tech Earth as he observes, and is drawn into the affairs of a medieval level society (a fallen colony) threatened by a bizarre plague by the daughter of a local chieftain - it is pure science fiction.

The other version of the story relates the same events from the point of view of a warrior princess of this society as she enlists the help of a wizard to defeat a demon threatening her people - it is pure epic fantasy.

A wonderfully creative book. I fully intend to try more tales from this author.
