NOVEL BY GWENYTH HOOD

THE COMING OF THE DEMONS (William Morrow, 1982, hardcover, 288 pp). 

Generations ago, the technologically advanced Pelezitereans fled
tyranny and disaster on their own planet, Urith, to seek a new home.
Only after centuries of wandering, during which they form a complex
ingrown culture within their colony ship, do they stumble upon a
suitable planet. Unfortunately, it is inhabited, and their strict
rules forbid them to interfere with its vibrant civilization.
Unable, however, to resist the temptation, a small band of
Pelezitereans mutiny and land. Then another party, including the
young, untried, but brilliant Natheless yi-Induran, must hunt them
down. In the process, they encounter a civilization
indistinguishable from Medieval Terran Italy (circa 1268 A.D.) and
find themselves, to their amazement, drawn into its political
struggles.''
