In the final book in the series, war breaks out as Tsarina's enemies finally strike. One of them wishes to conquer, the other merely wishes to sterilise a continent to be on the safe side. With rogue nanotech, enemies who may no longer be considered 'properly human' and subversion and corruption from within, things are starting to get complicated. Can Haldar Drom steer a path through unpaid mercenaries, night club singers, pirates, and rogue nanotech. Everything goes better when you add a few more marines.
