Description
The planet of Benan Ty is just another poor and violent ex-Terran colony. Now the Chi!me, the major power in the galaxy, are coming to broker a peace deal between guerrilla group ViaVera and the government.
For Quila, a rising figure in the Chi!me diplomatic service, the posting to Benan Ty could be the making of her career. Meanwhile Terise, one of ViaVera’s inner circle, is just trying to get her lover out with his life. But in a conflict where no side’s motivations are pure, they are both about to discover how much they have to lose.
Set in a future where humanity has gone to the stars, but taken exploitation and oppression with them, this is a story of imperialism, resistance, friendship and ultimately, liberation.

Reviews Of The Book On BooksShelf
If you are a fan of science or murder mysteries, you will highly appreciate The Caduca by Elaine Graham-Leigh. That is a classic story of oppression and resistance where the humans have gone into space, and the planets are already human colonized.
The plot is very complex, but at the same time, very well thought out and narrated. The author builds a fascinating world for the book.
The Chi!me, young diplomat, Quila has been very successful, so now she has been entitled to establish an agreement between the radical guerilla group ViaVera and the dictatorial government on the planet Benan Ty.
Despite her good intentions initially, once on the planet Benan Ty, she soon realizes that she can't trust almost anyone.
Terise, a trusted member of ViaVera, is now worried that together with her partner won't survive long.
Those two female characters are perfectly well described, with many indicative details. They are both very feminine, but also very strong and confident women. And using those two characters, Elaine Graham-Leigh reminds us about the problem with corruption in our society.
The book is impressive, as it touches on many problems within the political world and also people's expectations. I recommend that book by all means!
The Caduca is a book with a complex but intriguing plot.
Indeed well thought out book and storyline, with many details that provide the reader a better understanding.
The world that Elaine Graham-Leigh has constructed for the reader is impressive and powerful! It was impressive for me to read how fascinatingly the author incorporated our society's problems and political corruption.
A must-read for all the sci-fi lovers out there!
