A Deranged Human Who Lives to Deal Death
Stalks an Alien Who Cannot Bear to Kill,
with the Galaxy's Future in the Balance.
Science Fiction Adventure in the Posleen War Universe from a New York Times Best-Selling Author and a New Star of Military Science Fiction.
It's a matter of trust.
For thousands of years the Darhel, a warrior species conditioned to be incapable of killing, manipulated and controlled the human race. Then the humans threw off their yoke and, as humans tend to do, attempted to exterminate them.
Now, for the first time, a Darhel has been assigned to the elite Deep Reconnaissance Team commandos.
Trust, in a small unit, is vital. And there was no trust to be had on either side.
But when the mission encountered an alien device worth more than a king's ransom, it was the humans who betrayed the trust.
Now the despised Darhel must race against the team's sniper to prevent the artifact falling into the wrong hands. The Darhel has empathic powers, superhuman strength and the speed of a cheetah. The sniper has years of experience and enormous ability. The sniper can kill. The Darhel cannot.
The fate of the galaxy and the human race for the next thousand years hangs in the balance and that balance rests on the shoulders of a Darhel.
The Hero has a thousand faces, but is one of them the face of an elf
At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
"If you want military Sf with a difference, read John Ringo . . . You'll get as much action as you could hope for. . . ."
¾Eric Flint
"[Ringo's SF is] peopled with three-dimensional characters and spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse."
¾Library Journal
"Ringo has become one of the writers whose work I jump first to when books arrive. . . ."
¾Philadelphia Weekly Press
". . . Ringo's penchant for describing military action has also grown exponentially . . . a sequel capable of standing on its own."
