It is set on Kwannon in the Gettler system before the System States War. The planet is within a binary system and circles Gettler Beta, a G-class star. Gettler Alpha is a red giant star.The Kwannon natives are the only people known to have originated in a binary system. The natives know that the Hot Time comes every ninety years. They believe that their dead go to live within Gettler Alpha in the Always-Cool place.In this novel, Miles Gilbert was born on Kwannon. His mother was a biochemist. His father had been a news correspondent before becoming rich from trading in keffa-gum. Miles is the owner of Kwannon Planetwide News.Denis Maith is a Major General in the Federation Army. He commands a division and is the senior officer on the planet.Ramón Gonzales is a Brigadier General in the Federation Army. He commands a brigade within Maith's division.Foxx Travis is a Captain in the Federation Army. He is the aide of General Maith.Edith Shaw is a newcomer on Kwannon. She is a very liberal product of Adelaide University.In this story, Miles is viewing the damage from his contragrav car. The natives had burned their homes and swarmed after the shoonoon told them that this was the Last Hot Time. They are going to be taken to the Always-Cold by the Gone Ones.The Director of Economic, Educational and Technical Assistance has convinced the Kwannon Governor-General that the shoonoon should be taken into custody. EETA didn't like the shoonoon because they ignored the natives educated at the Native Welfare Commission schools. EETA believe this is a good time to undermine the shoonoon.Miles had reported the first swarming, but the Army is saying that one of their battalions had come under fire. Gonzales had suppressed the original swarming, but didn't have enough troops to occupy the whole planet. He has over a hundred shoonoon captives, but doesn't know what to do with them.Miles convinces Gonzales to send the shoonoon to the News building in Bluelake. Miles is going to try to convince them to put down the swarming. Troopers set up a floor for the shoonoon. By the time they were delivered, he had a hundred and eighty-four natives.Edith was assigned the task of observing Miles and the shoonoons. Foxx was the envoy for General Maith. Miles started the conversation by asking whether the shoonoon trusted him. After they agreed that they all trusted him, he asked who was the oldest shoonoon in the group.When they select one as the oldest, Miles asked him how the world was created. Miles listened to the description of the making of the world and the suns. Then he told them the world was round. When they disagreed, he had them all loaded on a contragrav excursion craft to circle the planet.This tale compares the efforts of the liberal government and the practical military. Then Miles uses the natives' own terms to explain new ideas. He shows them the basic facts rather than just telling them things about human science.Miles communicates much better than the government. This story is also available in the Kindle edition Federation and Empire.This story illustrates the problems of colonial administrations. The Kwannon government seems much like the French colonial governments. OTOH, Uller Uprising obviously was based on the Sepoy Mutiny in India.Highly recommended for Piper fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of colonial rebellions, creation myths, and a different approach. Read and enjoy!-Arthur W. Jordin

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Unique Solution By Charles Daniel Christopher This is a short story from H. Beam Piper's future-history. The core of the story is the actions taken by humans on the world of Kwanwoon when the natives start a religious revolt. The main character, Miles, resolves the situation with some unconventional thinking and actions.

2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A Good Short Read from H. Beam Piper By Fantasyman I rate this one four stars. It's good, well written and the premise is easily grasped and understood. As far as religion, politics, and colonization go, I thought Temple Trouble was a lot more fun, and Naudsonce more inventive.
