Everyone knows the legend of Christopher Sim. An interstellar hero with a rare talent for war, he changed
mankind's history forever when he forged a rag-tag group of misfits into the weapon that broke the alien Ashiyyur.
But now, in a forgotten file, Alex Benedict has found a startling piece of information. If it is true, then Christopher Sim was a fraud.
If he is to see it through, Alex Benedict will have to follow the dark track of a legend, into the heart of an alien galaxy, where he will confront a truth far stranger than anything he could have imagined...
Reviews / Votes
Jack McDevitt is that splendid rarity, a writer who is a storyteller first and a science fiction writer second. In his ability to absolutely rivet the reader, it seems to me that he is the logical heir to Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke -- Stephen King A superlative novel ... bridges the gap between literary and commercial SF with rare facility and belongs in every collection * Booklist * A marvellously constructed novel. If McDevitt never writes another word, his reputation is assured * Science Fiction Chronicle * Delivers everything it promises with a gigantic wallop * Publisher's Weekly * Combines hard science fiction with mystery and adventure in a wild tour of the distant future. Stellar plotting, engaging characters, and a mastery of storytelling (starred review) * Library Journal * A real writer has entered our ranks, and his name is Jack McDevitt -- Michael Bishop, Nebula-winning authorMore details
