Summary

"The Best Made Plans" by Everett B. Cole is a science fiction story set in a school on the alien planet of Khloris, where Don Michaels grapples with complex relationships and political conflicts. A terrorist event involving Harle Waern sets the stage for rising tensions and uncertainty, particularly in Oredan. When Don defends Harle's nephew, Pete, against bullies, he becomes a target himself, accused of bending the truth. This incident pulls Don into a web of power struggles and political schemes, forcing him to confront authority and fight for what he believes is right in a world where legitimacy is constantly challenged.
