What began as a border struggle has now erupted into open conflict. Humanity and the Viskr are at each other's throats, and for the first time in a generation war is a credible threat to the Many Worlds of mankind.
Operative Elm Caden however suspects the Viskr did not attack humanity first, and he is determined to root out the fugitives he believes orchestrated the hostilities. But they have fled into the barely charted Deep Shadows, and after the battle at Woe Tantalum it is clear they are allied with a previously unknown power... a power as hostile as it is mysterious. While the Imperial Navy engages the Viskr fleets, Caden and his companions — stoic soldier Rendir Throam, and redoubtable pilot Euryce Eilentes — have received new orders from up on high: find and kill Maber Castigon, before he can assassinate any more Imperial Shards. But with the Viskr making increasingly desperate strikes in Imperial territory, such things are easier said than done. And through the gathering chaos along the border come the rumours. Whole colonies are falling silent, great ships prowl in the darkness between the stars, and the wind whispers a warning across the Many Worlds: Fear the Deep. LOTD is the second of five novels in the Great War of the Shaeld series. |
