What reading level is The Black Planet book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gairloch’s eyes scanned the grasslands, ‘what a beautiful place to die. Your world is a jewel Steven my friend, it is no wonder the Albany have sacrificed and risked so much to possess it. There isn’t a race on our side of the barrier who wouldn’t fight to the death to possess it. Do you know what we would do then Steven, we would wipe out every living thing on the planet and plant grass for profit. Your way is much better. Who knew a race of meat eaters could care so much as to preserve al...l this.’ Steven laughed, ‘are meat eaters rare in your universe?’ ‘Yes, quite rare, simply because we wiped them out and stole their planets. Meat eaters like to fight each other; that holds back invention and innovation. When your race doesn’t kill each other and faces hunger from over population then you tend to reach for the stars quicker.’ He took another mouthful of grass and munched away thoughtfully. ‘The emperor has received those seeds we sent and they are now growing in his garden. Do you know they are worth a bucket of fire diamonds?’ ‘Or a battle cruiser.’ Gairloch laughed, ‘cheap at half the price as you humans would say.’ ‘I just hope he likes his new grass.’ ‘He will, we have similar tastes.’ Steven frowned, ‘you know him so well?’ ‘I should do he is my brother.’ Steven was shocked, ‘you're kidding!’ ‘No Steven I'm not really a ship’s captain, I am a grand admiral and third in line to the throne.’ ‘Why didn’t you say?’ ‘You don’t tell a potential enemy, especially a race of meat eaters that you are third in line to the throne and the emperor’s favourite brother.’ ‘In case we tried to use you as a hostage you mean. My god why?’ ‘Why did he send his favourite brother to certain death?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘None of us are indispensable Steven, not even the emperors own brothers. I volunteered and he chose me because he knew I would get the job done. It proved to him my love and devotion. By choosing me he proved his trust in me. Do not fret over me my friend, I am content. I am a hero and my brother will weep openly at my passing. It has to be said that humanity has treated my crew and I like visiting dignitaries and not just common soldiers. The emperor knows all of this and it has pleased him. Your people have treated us with great dignity. You may have few manners but I am sure we will get used to it,’ he laughed. ‘What you have to offer will give you great bargaining power with the emperor.’ Steven sighed, ‘but we have to survive the Albany first.’ Gairloch nodded in a very human manner, ‘yes, the emperor will not be able to make a treaty with a species that does not exist. Nor will we interfere with their invasion fleet. We are recovering from a very long war. The emperor is trying to get the economy for dozens of planets back on track and feed the masses. We could intervene and probably defeat the Albany, however the cost would be great and of course the loss of even more of our forces could leave the empire weak and open to attack from other enemies. We need to regain our strength, so you are on your own my friend.’ ‘Yup and hopelessly out numbered and out gunned.’ ‘You have builder technology and maybe over an Earth year to prepare Steven, it will have to be enough. You also have unlimited resources at your disposal, few have that. The metal you have used for the skin of your battle ships is capable of withstanding a direct hit from all weapons. In our grand fleet only the emperor’s personal ship has such a skin. It is far too expensive to build a whole fleet of such ships and yet that is exactly what you are doing. I can assure you none of the Albany ships will be made of this metal. It is an advantage, a slim one yes but a true warrior can exploit such an advantage. Your solar system is so rich in untapped resources.’ He lay back and closed his eyes for a while Steven sat and contemplated what he had said.
