The novel is mostly adventure and romance, but it includes some description of an apparently eutopian society of advanced aliens that had been created by humans on an overpopulated Earth trying to speed up human evolution. The aliens, called Ler, have a long adolescence (until about thirty), a short period of fertility (about 30 to 40), and a low birthrate. Families (braids) include an original couple, added mates for each, the children produced, their mates, and their children, at which point the original couple leaves singly or together and are free to do as they like. Each braid has a defined occupational role.\ Related novels are\ The Gameplayers of Zan. New York: DAW Books, 1977, which is set before\ The Warriors of Dawn, and\ The Day of the Klesh.
