What the EE has always feared most has happened. He has gone insane! How could it be that a man 2000-3000 years old suddenly goes insane, starts killing his friends and becomes the demented ruller like Caligula whom he had always despised. Riveting historical parallels. Pay attention to the events that plunge the Empire into chaos, and see parallels to what is occuring or has occured in our(human) history before.

Another excellent volume in the Sten saga. Full of battles, clandestine activities, bad Scottish jokes, and of course, he gets the girl.

I read this book not knowing at the time that it was just one in a series. I Found THAT out pretty quick!! Regardless, it kept me entralled till the end, and I went hunting for the others!! Great High Space Adventure in the truest of the Classic SI-FI form!! Loads of action without bogging down in technical explainations. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes action oriented SI-FI.

I've been looking for this for quite a while as an audio book. Glad they released this. Now, just one more to make the whole collection complete to go along with the hardcopies.

A great story, I love the series. But, what happened to Books 5 and 6 Sten: Vortex: Sten Series, Book 7.

For the correct synopsis go to Empire's End (Sten 8), the final book in the series and the sequel to Vortex (Sten 7). Action packed with derring-do and a well-realized vision of the future.
