The Crystal Palace Of Adamas

THE CRYSTAL PALACE OF ADAMAS is a beautifully written and illustrated story of Janus, a humanoid galactic pilot from the technologically advanced, yet resource depleted planet of Sagateum. Sagateum's desperate and despotic rulers wait for a message from one of their space pilots searching the universe for other habitable and exploitable planets.

Janus's extragalactic flight leads him to Adamas where he finds a simple, peaceful society. To his surprise, Adamians warmly welcome him to share the wonders of their planet. With his new friends, Sulia, Torak and Loria and their families, Janus begins to discover his own, human emotions.

Janus's reflection and final decision revolves around societal values, the use of technology and the preservation of the natural resources of a planet. Richard Wainwright has written another thoughtful tale which will entrance and delight children and adults alike.
