About this listen

 Magda Aklyan and Alpha reach exile, just a month before the Imperium and Daura attack the Calmar Union. Takeshi Watanabe is now a general, still secretly plotting against Pyotr. Jan and Zofia are thrown into more desperate fighting, this time inside the immense lava tube system on the science research moon Minotaur. They contend against a bizarre new enemy: Daurans, who fight in seemingly mindless herds. Is there more to them than that? Röhm Krump leads Jahandar’s savage shishi fear police, constantly fondling klack klack a pair of lacquered blue eyeballs he keeps in his robe pocket, as he thinks about sadistic torments he will enjoy once he goes planetside on conquered Alliance worlds. They belonged to his predecessor. Jahandar struggles with the evil boy Soso who lives inside him and is clawing to get out. He is also waking to the idea that he forgot to kill Krump, who is thinking nearly the same thing about Jahandar. This test must come to a bloody head.

Magda is promoted to command Task Force Wildfire, then to admiral in command of a joint White Sails Fleet. She maps the Palette Nebula, where she will ingress and egress enemy space on “butcher-and-bolt” raids and commando actions. She must also protect the vital convoys along the “Giraffe’s Neck” to Amasia, emerging as the key battlefield in the entire war. There, General Lian Sòng leads a desperate defense of trenches that stretch pole-to-pole, 23,000+ klics of “the black,” or Yue ming. More neutrals are violated. A weak Alliance is reeling toward defeat, now facing a leadership crisis after it prematurely counterattacks and overstretches its resources, leading to catastrophic defeat and lost armies and fleets.

Georges Briand steps up as the new leader, but does he offer anything more than words? He rushes reinforcements to Amasia, protected by the White Sails. Can they hold onto what’s left of the supercontinent Lemuria, already half occupied by the Dual Powers? The war descends further into atrocities and genocide, and the dark prospect of permanent occupation. We meet Susannah Page, a 22 year-old Blue soldier masered in the heart by a chuffed sniper bot, who is pleased to discover it has an express purpose in the Universe. She needs the Pod medical bot to get her up to the hospital ship Red Rover, where Dr. Lee Jin will try to save her life and rebuild her burned and broken body. Then she needs to go back to the war. She want to face and question Death, who tells her he is waiting for her.
