Description
It was a circular city . . . like the City of the Sun, a perfect community dreamed up by the seventeenth-century philosopher Campanella.Many utopian groups had emigrated into space to found their ideal settlements. And it was on one such colony world appropriately named Arcadia . . . that the recontact ship Daedalus made its fourth planetfall. There in all its splendour stood the fulfillment of Campanella's dream . . . the real seven-circled City of the Sun.
But the city was too ordered, the inhabitants too perfect, the world too Arcadian . . . and very soon the Daedalus's scientists realized that in this particular utopia the idealists had unleashed a force that could undermine all human culture on other planets.
