β¦ Synopsis
From the Publisher
The Empire is in chaos. The onceβgreat Imperial Navy has been shattered in battle and lies burning in space, riven by a civil war that threatens to engulf humanityβs future. For the revered Eternal Emperor is not the man his subjects thought him to be β and may not even be human at all. And it is Sten β Imperial bodyguard, spy, assassin, renegade β who now leads humanityβs fight for survival. Taking command of the last rebel fleet, he sets out on a desperate quest to seek and destroy the dark source of his former masterβs power. Denounced as a traitor, hunted by forces loyal to the Emperor, Sten must risk everything to annihilate the Empire he vowed to protect.
From the Inside Flap
The Eternal Emperor had returned at last from the dead, to pick up the pieces of his crumbling Empire. But even that great leader could not halt the Empire's decline alone. And so Sten, master spy, military strategist, and assassin, found himself appointed Ambassador Plenipotentiary to the Altaic Cluster, where a brewing civil war threatened the stability of the Empire itself.
Quelling a civil war was nothing new for Sten. But as one thing after another went wrong, he began to suspect that he was up against more than a mere local disturbance. Someone -- operating in deepest cover, with the highest authority -- was working behind the scenes to manipulate events and escalate disaster. And that someone wanted nothing more than to see Sten dead . . .
