Synopsis :

Book by Herbert Brian Anderson Kevin J

Quatrième de couverture: After declaring his independence from the corrupt Constellation, exiled rebel General Adolphus knows the crackdown is coming. Now he needs to pull together the struggling Hellhole colony, the ever-expanding shadow-Xayan settlement, and his connections with the other Deep Zone worlds. Even then, he doubts his desperate measures will be enough to save his planet from annihilation.

On the capital world of Sonjeera, the ruler Diadem Michella Duchenet has collected a huge fleet led by firebrand Commodore Escobar Hallholme, son of the legndary hero who originally defeated Adolphus. They expect resistance from the General's rebels, but who could possibly stand up to such a mighty fleet? However, the Diadem is nervous. Cracks have appeared in her seamless Constellation; inspectors have disappeared, taxes are in arrears, some officials have dared to ignore her orders. Crushing this cursed Deep Zone rebellion, she thinks, will end the foolishness once and for all. And what better way to send a signal than to devastate Hellhole?

Adolphus knows he's running out of time and ideas, but he still has some hope-the shadow-Xayans have banded together to defend their sacred planet with "telemancy," but can they discover new powers to protect all the stored alien lives on the already devastated world? And when all hope seems lost, the awakened Xayans reveal information that has been hidden even from their own followers-the existence of a bigger threat that makes even the huge Constellation fleet seem insignificant.

Disaster has come for General Adolphus and Hellhole…and this time there is no escape.
