FAR-OUT TRUMPETS
HERALD A PLANETARY
REVOLUTION

Interplanetary agent Jef Forzon's mission was to touch off a democratic revolution among the oppressed and brutalized people of the Planet Kurr.

But the ruler of Kurr, King Rovva had so brilliantly controlled his people, through a mixture of torture and kindness, that few were ready to follow young Jef Forzon - and many were ready to betray him.

Alone, with a price on his head, Forzon must find a means to "turn on" this music-loving people - before it was top late.  Could he find it in the 'still, small voice of trumpets?'

"GOING TO BE
ONE OF THE CLASSICS."
- JOHN W. CAMPBELL

On the world Branoff IV live the RASCZ, an artistic, superbly civilized race.  Few of them are aware that their prosperous civilization is totally dependent upon the OLZ, a race of slaves owned by their god-emperor.  The OLZ till the fields and work the forests and mines, and their reward is starvation and the whip.

Cultural Survey trainee Cedd Farrari receives a routine assignment to Interplanetary Relations Bureau headquarters on Branoff IV.  His delight with the culture of the RASCZ is shattered when he becomes aware of the horrible plight of the OLZ.  He dedicates himself to their liberation, and to achieve that he must become one of them - must share their body-destroying labor and their starvation and torture.

As he pursues his quest he finds himself leading the OLZ in the strangest rebellion ever described in truth or fiction: the RASCZ, the master race, don't know their slaves are rebelling.

Neither do the slaves!
