Overview

They thought the war was over . . . the enemy had other ideas. Two years after the end of the Psi War, Caleb Mitchell is Emperor in all but name, leading his armies on a crusade to cleanse the colony worlds and Earth itself of the last of the psionic madmen known as the Changed. But the citizens of the Commonwealth weren't the only ones devastated by the war; the criminal cartels in the Pirate Worlds are in chaos, their trade cut off, their resources running out. A young warlord named Amos Dobrev rises up to unite the cartels into a union they call the Syndicate. He builds an army of psionic supermen and tries to carve out his own kingdom among the former Commonwealth colonies. Dobrev says they are only doing what they have to do to survive. Mitchell considers Dobrev a threat who needs to be put down before he destroys everything that's left. And caught in the middle is Randall Munroe, Mitchell's right-hand man, trying to decide whether the bigger threat is an outlaw Syndicate . . . or the power of Cal Mitchell's Imperium.

Author Information

Rick Partlow is that rarest of species, a native Floridian. Born in Tampa, he attended Florida Southern College and graduated with a degree in history and a commission in the US Army as an Infantry officer. His lifelong love of science fiction began with Have Space Suit-Will Travel and the other Heinlein juveniles and traveled through Clifford Simak, Asimov, Clarke, and on to William Gibson, Walter Jon Williams, and Peter F. Hamilton. And somewhere, submerged in the worlds of others, Rick began to create his own worlds. He has written over forty books in a dozen different series, and his short stories have been included in twelve different anthologies. He lives in central Florida with his wife, two children, and two lovable mutts. Besides writing and reading science fiction and fantasy, he enjoys outdoor photography, hiking, and camping. You know you're narrating a character right when your children grab your arm and say, ""Daddy . . . read the bad guy normal, you're scaring us with the voice."" Aside from reading villains in storybooks really well, Derek Shoales has worked on corporate, eLearning, and commercial voice-over projects, been a graphic/web designer and an inventory market mentor, sung bass to baritone in choirs, and played the guitar, electric violin, and Clare whistle.
