From New York Times
best-selling author Yoon Ha Lee. The stunning second act in the Hugo
Award nominated Machineries of Empire series!
Captain Kel Cheris
is possessed by a long-dead traitor general. Together they must face the
rivalries of the hexarchate and a potentially devastating invasion.
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?
