Book Description

Publication Date: May 6, 2007

The escape was successful! Ailanthus, Tethys and they friends have escaped from the penal colony and the first place they find themselves is the black market planet of Kali Prime, home to some of the worst criminals and cheats not locked up. Wanting to ditch their stolen transport for something a little less obvious, they quickly learn that life outside K'ar Krack'a isn't all that different than it was inside. Meanwhile, Rohini and his spy master begin their attempts to hold the Imperium together from the rebellion boiling over at the heavy-handed methods of the new emperor. The Dei Glorium and her High Confessio of The Church of the Blessed Prophets begin their effort to destroy that which they want to save and Lord Cardinal Cebrenia Caroli begins her bumpy road toward revenge.

This review is from: Seed of Power (Paperback)

Wow. This just keeps getting better. Book two, Seed of Power, answers many questions raised in the first book, yet raises others, leaving the reader wanting more. The plot lines advance very well and the characters have a depth to them that is real and tangible. The breakneck pace, lyrical beauty and astonishing scope of the universe wherein the story is set give the series a Frank Herbert-like essence. The growing conflict between The Church of the Blessed Prophets and the remnants of the Imperium is wonderfully contrasted with the growing conflict between the Dei Glorium and her High Confessio as well as the tension between Ailanthus and Rohini. I can hardly wait for book three to come out.
