Plot Summary of Ultima: The Technocrat War - Masquerade 2
"A knight of New Britannia comes into conflict with a proud, warlike people called the Juka. For the sake of honor he pursues his enemy and discovers respect for his foe. Another group of people, the mysterious Technocrats, add intrigue to the inevitable conflict and war between cultures. A great case of characters, quick moving action and interwoven characters make this book a fast, fun read.
