Summary
Lieutenant Sven Tveskoeg is in disgrace. His victory on
Hekati, and the emperor's favour, have turned his patron
against him: General Indigo Jaxx wants Sven dead. Exiled to
Wildeside, Sven waits for Jaxx's assassin. He hunts, he
fieldstrips his weapons, he tries not to mind. At the age of
28, he's lived longer than he expected anyway. But then Sven
finds himself offering to save the life of Jaxx's son. This
means returning to Farlight, where he finds that the emperor is
missing, his empire is collapsing, there are murderous riots in
the capital and General Jaxx stands on the edge of ruin. All
Sven has to do is nothing. But when has he ever done anything
that sensible...The devil-may-care, not quite 100% human,
mercenary soldier/killing machine known as Lieutenant Sven
Tveskoeg and his like-minded team, the Aux, are back in a third
explosive, non-stop action-filled adventure.
