Line 27:
The Imperials and the Federation agents leave Andrecia. Elana finds parting difficult, but necessary because her love for Georyn cannot be fully realized without jeopardizing the Federation's policies.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Alien Non-Interference Clause]]: The Federation's policy of non-interference. This book was partly published due to the fact that Engdahl did not like how the Prime Directive was handled in Star Trek.
** The way the clause is treated almost read s like deconstruction. Federation agents specifically learn a technique which makes them ''more'' vulnerable because of it!
Line 40 ⟶ 39:
* [[Disintegrator Ray]]: the atomizer of the Imperials.
* [[Disposable Woman]]: Ilura gets killed just so that Elana can take her place.
* [[
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: the treatment of Andrecians by the Empire is eerily siimilar to treatment of Native Americans.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Elana, basically by order, but [[Interrupted Suicide|she doesn't die]].
* [[The Dung Ages]]: Andrecia, what with the king killing people on a whim and people in the villages massively suffering. And this is ''before'' [[The Empire]] shows up.
Line 53 ⟶ 52:
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Jarell.
* [[Human Aliens]]: Elana can pass as an Andrecian with quirks. Ilura was able to pass as one. This was done purposefully to make the identity of the three civilizations ambiguous.
* [[Humans Are Psychic in
* [[Human Sacrifice]]: Elana, intended.
* [[Interrupted Suicide]]: Elana's suicide is prevented by Georyn by stopping the rocks mid-air. Since this convinced the Empire to let him and Elana go, this also counts as [[Happily
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Elana and Geory. See [[Star
* [[Jade
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: most of the Anrecian charachters. Elana also is close.
* [[Magic Feather]]: The stone Elana gives Georyn to concentrate his innate abilities.
Line 77 ⟶ 76:
* [[Skilled but Naive]]: Elana.
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: idealistic, but not jade-colored. Naivete wil get you into trouble, but being a cynical unbeliever (like [[The Empire]]) will outright ruin you.
* [[Star
* [[Superweapon Surprise]]: Invoked In-Universe. The whole plan for the expedition was to make Imperials ''think'' many people on Andricia have mental superpowers.
** [[Unintentional Backup Plan]]: which is achieved in a completely different fashion then anticipated.
Line 85 ⟶ 84:
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: subverted: Elana can withstand torture, but this is pointless against the Empire (see below).
* [[We Have Ways of Making You Talk]]: The Empire can extract information directly from the brain, making interrogation resistance virtually impossible.
* [[What Is One
** And since her father doesn't quite trusts her to commit suicide he {{spoiler|secretly sends her fiance to either free ''or'' kill her, only stopping the plan at the last second. Double facepalm since earlier he explicitly declined giving her the ''order'' to die}}
* [[Wide
* [[A World Half Full]]: Both Andrecia, despite being in [[The Dung Ages]], and [[The Empire]], which is oppressive and ruthless but, as Jarell recognises, can still reform itself and progress beyond its current practices.
* [[X Meets Y]]: [[
* [[Youngest Child Wins]]: Georyn.
