War has raged across the stars for decades. The Human Legion is in the ascendancy now, but its victories are hollow, impossible to defend against attack from all sides.

Is there any way for General Arun McEwan to secure the freedom of the liberated worlds? Or will he have to compromise with humanity's masters, the White Knights, who insist that his children must submit to the cruelest of all alien rituals: the Cull?

Arun prepares to gamble an all-or-nothing strike on the imperial capital. But nothing is as it first appears when you wage war against the White Knights…

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Ian Whates is a writer and editor of science fiction, fantasy, and occasionally horror. He is the author of seven novels (four space opera and three urban fantasy with steampunk overtones), the co-author of two more (military SF), has seen sixty-odd of his short stories published in a variety of venues, and is responsible for editing around thirty anthologies.
His work has been shortlisted for the Philip K Dick Award and twice for BSFA Awards. His novel Pelquin’s Comet, first in the Dark Angels sequence, was an Amazon UK #1 best seller, and he has seen his writing translated into Spanish, German, Hungarian, Czech and Greek. Ian served a term as a director of SFWA (the Science Fiction Writers of America) and is a director of the BSFA (the British Science Fiction Association) an organisation he chaired for five years.
In 2006 Ian founded multiple award-winning independent publisher NewCon Press by accident, and he continues to puzzle over how the press now has 90-odd titles to its credit and counting.
Ian lives in a quiet Cambridgeshire village with his partner, Helen, and a far-from-quiet cocker spaniel called Bundle.

I greatly enjoyed the series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 4, 2018

I greatly enjoyed the series. I wait until the complete series is available as a set then order it. I like novels and not waiting for the next chapter of a serial. The story is to good to be broken up in sections.

Success in war does not mean you get what you want

War has good and or bad outcomes you are often left without good choices even if you win
Enter in a battle only if you know you can control the next outcome

The General is captured and tortured but he is rescued. They are at the home of the White Knights and have to make a decision. Read to see what the decision is and what happens after.

These series just gets better and better. Who is a real friend and who is a real foe? How can you tell for certain? And what of the evils of "The Cull?" How can the allies end that terrible judgment? Read on!

Not one to review books easily, So far the series has been great, like really good. However what the author did to Springer in this book is just unforgivable

Nice addition to the series, if you liked the first three don't miss this one

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 22, 2016

Better than the previous books, still a little disjointed and not always plausible, but overall well written.

A Magnificent Book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

Wow, this book has everything! Intrigue, friendship, love, despair, infiltration, defection, mutiny, and a ferocious battle, what more could one want? Having read the previous 4 books I understood the characters and the terminology (species with no sex etc.). Each book in the series has built up the main characters and integrated new species with their special individual characteristics. The plot takes us through the build up to a tremendous battle which left me at times wondering what the outcome would be. We have known for some time that there would have to be a final battle for control of Earth, but who would still be there to fight that battle is still in doubt. The authors have cleverly built up our knowledge and our association with the major characters to prepare us for the end game only to shatter our dreams as events unfold. The only criticism that I have is the author’s lack of feeling for the millions of casualties resulting from the battles, life is cheap in the future. This book was a sitting on the edge of your seat experience and has built up an anticipation that can only be satisfied by reading the final book. Well done authors, please get book 6 published soon.

Over detailed, long winded

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

Long winded, over detailed. I keep reading them, as after 4 books i want to know the ending. 5th book unfortunately just more of the same. You know you should consider giving up, when you flick through 10 pages just to find something of interest, rather than more detail.
