From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wizard of Anharitte is a 1973 novel written by Colin Kapp.
The Wizard of Anharitte is a novel in which the isolated planet Roget maintains a single spaceport in its city Anharitte for trade with space merchants and local rulers. However, the Wizard of Anharitte, a noble reputed to have magical abilities, threatens the status quo by introducing ideas of democracy and civil liberty — sparking fears of a slave uprising. To protect their financial interests, the ruling powers and the Company attempt to undermine him through economic and political pressure, but when these fail, they resort to open warfare to crush his influence.[1]
