The stunning conclusion to the mind-bending series Shuos Jedao is
awake... ...and nothing is as he remembers. He's a teenager, a
cadet-a nobody-in the body of an old man; a general in command of
an elite force. And he's the most feared, and reviled, man in the
galaxy. Jedao carries orders from Hexarch Nirai Kujen to re-conquer
the fractured pieces of the hexarchate. But he has no memory of
ever being a soldier, let alone a general, and the Kel soldiers
under his command hate him for a massacre he can't remember
committing. Kujen's friendliness can't hide the fact that he's a
tyrant. And what's worse, Jedao and Kujen are being hunted-by an
enemy who knows more about Jedao than he does himself...
New York Times Best-Selling Author - Nominated for the 2019 Hugo
Award for Best Series - Winner of the 2016 Locus Award - Nominated
for the Hugo, Nebula and Arthur C. Clarke Awards When Captain Kel
Cheris of the hexarchate is disgraced for her unconventional
tactics, Kel Command gives her a chance to redeem herself, by
retaking the Fortress of Scattered Needles from the heretics.
Cheris's career isn't the only thing at stake: if the fortress
falls, the hexarchate itself might be next. Cheris's best hope is
to ally with the undead tactician Shuos Jedao. The good news is
that Jedao has never lost a battle, and he may be the only one who
can figure out how to successfully besiege the fortress. The bad
news is that Jedao went mad in his first life and massacred two
armies, one of them his own. As the siege wears on, Cheris must
decide how far she can trust Jedao - because she might be his next
victim.
When the hexarchate's gifted young captain Kel Cheris summoned the
ghost of the long-dead General Shuos Jedao to help her put down a
rebellion, she didn't reckon on his breaking free of centuries of
imprisonment - and possessing her. Even worse, the enemy Hafn are
invading, and Jedao takes over General Kel Khiruev's fleet, which
was tasked with stopping them. Only one of Khiruev's subordinates,
Lieutenant Colonel Kel Brezan, seems to be able to resist the
influence of the brilliant but psychotic Jedao. Jedao claims to be
interested in defending the hexarchate, but can Khiruev or Brezan
trust him? For that matter, will the hexarchate's masters wipe out
the entire fleet to destroy the rogue general?
