Captain Laurent Zai demonstrates his strategic cleverness as well as an unusual amount of luck, when he unexpectedly defeats the Rix ship he was sent to destroy — an assignment intended to be a suicide mission. Meanwhile, in the imperial senate, Nara Oxham walks a fine line between treason and her party’s agenda as she fights the emperor himself.
The extent of imperial corruption is becoming clear, thanks to the emperor’s willingness to destroy an entire world with dirty bombs to keep the secret of the immortality he grants the elite.
That secret comes out, however, because of the machine mind created on Legis XV by the Rix invasion.
