Another in the Warlock series I picked up at a used book store for $0.25 apiece. The premise is a representative of a galactic democratic government ends up stationed on a planet settled by romantic SCA-types who wanted to recreate a medieval environment, and ended up self-selecting for the genetic traits for psi-powers, thus creating a medieval world where magic, witches, and warlocks are "real." The world is threatened by time-travelling enemies of galactic democracy, but democracy relies on communication, and the telepaths of this world are seen as the future key to galactic communication and thus democracy. Even though it is a feudal, medieval world. Huh. Anyway, the protagonist has technology - "magic" - unknown to most in the world, and is so called the High Warlock.

I liked this one a little less than the others in the series. Most of it had to do with the High Warlock learning to deal with his anger issues, trying to avoid becoming a domestic abuser, while at the same time dealing with a warlock's revolt seemingly backed by one of the shadowy enemies of galactic democracy. Meh.
