About this ebook

The final battle approaches!

Question Zero: answer it correctly, and your quest will be fulfilled. Answer incorrectly, and your head will be removed.

The human Amir Tarkos and his bear-like partner Bria are members of the elite Predator Corp, the only military force capable of defeating the dangerous Ulltrians. If they can locate where the Ulltrians have hidden their fleet, they can take the war to the enemy. But the answer lies on the Shroudworld, where rebels from throughout the galaxy have gathered to use mathematics as a weapon. And they want to claim the heads of Tarkos and Bria.

In a thinking labyrinth, when everyone betrays them, Tarkos and Bria have only each other, and their own cunning, to aid them. Can they defeat the most subtle enemies they have ever faced, in a struggle of logic and deception?

Ratings and reviews

Epic space opera with great individual characters I was immediately invested in. Even through all the fighting and war, the, literally, life-affirming message shows us a model of fairness and tolerance where individual autonomy and the common good work together. All this wrapped in a rip-roaring page-turner of an adventure that I couldn't stop reading.

The last of the series, I enjoyed the ride very much, great books, start the first one you'll need to read to the last.

Well written with sad ending.
