Teacher of Destruction
Notebooks are found in the Amazon jungle written by a research
biologist, telling of an ancient civilization and of a humble man,
Master Teacher Pawlsin.
Pawlsin reluctantly accepts the position of Regent of the Education
Agency of the planet Oris. Pawlsin's life up to this point has been
peaceful and uneventful, but it suddenly changes as an attempt is made
on his life, he falls in love for the first time, and the planet Oris
is destroyed by an asteroid.
Pawlsin and a handful of survivors escape aboard a large spaceship
designed to be a Mobile Planetary Learning Center. They gather up the
remaining citizens of Oris living on other planets and travel to
Avatar, where they hope to re-establish their civilization. Wassun,
the leader of the Council of the Wise, reveals himself to be a cruel
dictator. Pawlsin leads a rebellion to oust Wassun and his henchmen
and establish a colony where they can survive.
