Case And the Dreamer (2013)
“However, he was known, on his lovely planet Ceer, as Althair the Storyteller just because he did that better—better even than adventuring, at which he was a marvel.
His people called his planet “Ceer, the planet indetectable,” and that it really was. It had no smoke or factories, machines or jails or presidents; just uncommanded beauty made of waves and wilderness. It had a kind of shrub-tree plant that would yield to mental pressure and produce the living living-shelters, cupping coolness by d...ay and hoarding heat at night.
A heavy planet, Ceer, with strong inhabitants, who had still stronger minds—so strong that with a ceremony they had linked their minds together and created an integument, a kind of shell, a shield around their worlds that bent all outside rays and gravities. Reflecting and occulting nothing, it concealed the planet’s mass, and more: concealed its absence; yet the peopled plains and oceans could see the friendly stars unhampered. The peoples’ name was Zado.MoreLess
