"I'm reminded of Poul Anderson's Dominic Flandry series, or more recently, Kristine Kathryn Rusch's Anniversary Day saga." -Analog Capt. Tomas Neumann faces shocking dangers in an unexpected new battlefield. Assigned to the Confederated Worlds' capital planet, Tomas works to rebuild the military's confidence after the last war. He has no interest in politics. But after saving the Confederated Worlds' next president from an assassin, politics becomes interested in him. Gone are the familiar lines between friend and foe. In the halls of power, Tomas plunges into a world of secrets and lies. Worse, he soon discovers a terrifying conspiracy threatening far more than his career, his family, or even his life. He finds a shocking truth capable of destroying the Confederated Worlds. Battling spies and pervasive surveillance, Tomas takes shadowy journeys from luxurious temples to secret police brain scanning chambers. The fate of the galaxy will hinge on his ability to tell allies from enemies. To tell loyalists from traitors. And remain true to his principles, as a soldier and a man. Military science fiction meets political thriller in the triumphant conclusion to the Confederated Worlds trilogy.
