Book description
Araldis is still under occupation by hostile forces, and with the Orion
League of Sentient Species seemingly unable - or unwilling - to help,
Mira Fedor is forced to turn to the mercenary captain, Rast Randall, if
she is to save her planet. But while Rast's contacts may be free of
political constraints, what they lack in red tape they more than make up
for in ruthlessness. As some of their hidden strategies are revealed,
others become even more opaque. Why have the philosophers of Scolar been
targetted? How far does the Extropist influence extend into Orion space?
From Lasper Farr, the Stain War veteran and ruler of the junk planet
Edo, to the Sole initiates at Belle Monde to Rast herself, everyone is
pursuing their own agenda. But are they really separate goals? Or are
events rushing to a single, terrifying conclusion . . . ? Marianne de
Pierres is the author of the acclaimed Parrish Plessis and Sentients of
Orion science fiction series. The Parrish Plessis series has been
translated into eight languages and adapted into a Role Playing Game.
Marianne is an active supporter of genre fiction and has mentored many
writers. She lives in Brisbane, Australia, with her husband, three sons
and three galahs.
