The Far Side of Evil

Front Cover
Atheneum, 1971 - Fiction - 292 pages

Assigned as a observer to a world whose people may soon destroy their civilization, Anthropological Service agent Elana expects merely to gain knowledge that may save other planets. When a young, inexperienced agent unwittingly endangers the entire world by a well-meant but ill-advised attempt to intervene, Elana finds that only she--at great cost--can prevent an immediate war of annihilation. 

Although this book has the same heroine as Enchantress from the Stars, it is an independent story for much older readers and should not be considered a sequel.
