Wind

On the planet Tharmith, all the women have been slaves for millennia. They form an underground movement called Wind and plot the overthrow of their cruel masters. A handful of men, like gullible young Malcith, support their cause. Wind and its operatives will stop at nothing, including murder and genocide. He had been manipulated and molded from childhood. Having a cruel brute of a father certainly helped Wind to recruit Malcith.
On the cusp of adulthood, he is caught up in a web of secrecy and subterfuge. By the time he realizes just how serious Wind is about their revolutionary aims, he is too deeply committed to back away.
