The action of the story “Morning Dawn” takes place in the Skolian universe, but is not related to the main storyline of the cycle. The main character is a prisoner, and the main character, named Soz, is Soskoni Valdoria, a young woman, fighter pilot, member of the imperial family, and a character in several Skolian novels. Vivid images and erotic tension put this story on par with Brackett's works. The originality of the plot is given by the fact that the characters here play roles that are not typical for their gender.
