Description
The saga of the Unified Worlds, which began with Ganwold's Chic and continued with Echoes of Issel, is the story of one military family at the center of politics and war on a cluster of colonized worlds far away in space and time. The patriarch of the family, Admiral Lujan Serege, is Commander in Chief of the Unified Worlds' special forces, known as the Spherzah. His former enemy, the breakaway world of Issel, needs the assistance of the Spherzah to resist attacks by the alien masuk slavers. During negotiations for this aid, Lujan is critically injured by a terrorist bomb. The damage to his nervous system renders him almost entirely without sensation or control of his body. Nearly cut off from the outside world, he is removed from command by members of his own government scheming against him. While he struggles to regain control of his body, he must also rely on his own family - his son, Tristan, and his wife, Captain Darcie Dartmuth - to help him root out a conspiracy orchestrated by the chief minister of Issel, who aspires to restore the old Dominion and bring the Unified Worlds under its control. Only Lujan is fully aware of the extent of the corruption, and he faces the most difficult battle of his life as he must fight his physical incapacitation to gather the evidence he needs to prevent the Issellan's plan from succeeding.This is the third book in Diann Thornely's Unified Worlds saga (Ganwold's Child, Echoes of Issel), a serviceable military science fiction series from one of the genre's newer writers.
