Sir Dominic Flandry is now an Admiral,
but takes little joy in his new rank. He sees the rot in the
Terran Empire on every hand and knows that the Long Night will
inevitably fall upon the galaxy. His consolation is that
measures he has taken while doing what he can to postpone the
Empirers"s final collapse may shorten the coming galactic dark
age and hasten the rise of a new interstellar civilization. In
the meantime, hers"ll enjoy the comforts of a decadent
civilization-and hers"ll always be ready for one more battle
against the Empirers"s enemies. This concluding volume of the
Technic Civilization saga, one of the milestones of modern
science fiction includes two full-length novels:A Stone in
Heaven-When the daughter of Flandryrs"s mentor asks for help,

plans to seize control of the Empire. The Game of Empire-The
Merseians, alien enemies of the Empire, have put into motion an
insidious plan to bring the Terran Empire down. Flandryrs"s
daughter, Diana, and her feline-like alien friend have
discovered the conspiracy, but can they stop it in time? Plus
three novellas and a novelette set in the time of the Long
Night and the renaissance of civilization which followed it,
concluding one of the grandest adventure sagas in science
fiction.
