In our near-future fleets of settlers are sent to populate dozens of worlds in the nearby sectors of the galaxy. However economic meltdown on Earth leaves these colonies to fend for themselves and without technological assistance they revert to tribal societies.
5000 years further in the future one of these colony worlds develops space-travel and quickly realises that humanoids encountered on nearby planets have the same origins as themselves. A campaign of exploration is hastily organised to discover more.
Reunited Worlds tells the tale of two such explorers whose mission goes disastrously wrong when they encounter a medieval world and inadvertently affect the course of a major war.
The story is told from both the perspective of the explorers and from the viewpoint of those who they encounter.
