"Millennium" by Everett B. Cole is a science fiction story of old technology and civilization. It shows how technology can be misused. Key characters, such as Liewen Konar and Klion Meinora, are tasked with finding advanced tech on a planet that went backward in time over multiple generations. The planet's people weren't ready for the tech they had, and their society fell apart. The story follows Konar and Meinora in their efforts to salvage what they can, while also introducing Flor, a serf who unexpectedly gains control of a mind-altering coronet. This sets off political intrigue among the nobility, creating tension and setting the stage for how the two storylines will come together.
