Shoulder Fairy

A remote world. An unorthodox mission. A strange companion.

After traveling in stasis for years across the interstellar void, Robert Vasquez lands on the planet Sonik orbiting the Procyon star system. His personal mission is to educate the natives of what some consider a backwater world. In this pursuit, he soon runs afoul of the local human ambassador Garth Knight, who wants to keep the natives ignorantand easier to subjugate.

Robert recruits several natives to his cause, but some oppose him, including a large band of renegades bent on galactic conquest. They harbor secrets about Sonik beyond the knowledge of most other natives. Yet Robert has learned even deeper secrets buried in the planet's ancient archives. In the process, he also acquires unusual companions among the native fairies and tarlocks.

How far will Robert bend the rules to succeed on his mission? Can education and technology triumph over bureaucracy and imperialism?
