"Protectorate" is a novel in which the decadent rich live in their gleaming towers, while the lower Dwellers teem in poverty far below, and their alien overlords control humanity absolutely. Reception. Colin Greenland reviewed "Protectorate" for "Imagine" magazine, and stated that "Farren strolls once more down these mean streets with his hands in his pockets, cheerfully pessimistic. He quite likes it all. really. No great writer, Farren, but nobody's fool either, and that's quite valuable these days."
