Description
Using fast and furious hit-and-run tactics, Marcus GioAvanti and mercenaries have earned a tough reputation throughout the Inner Sphere. But the Inner Sphere isn't where their newest job is taking them-because their latest employer resides in that remote and mysterious region of space known as the Periphery. Marcus and his Angels will have to face the real force behind the hostilities-the religious cult known as Word of Blake. This fanatical group has a scheme deadly enough to trap even show more Avanti's Angels... show lessTags

- Epigraph
- All warfare is based on deception. — Sun Tzu, The Art of War
The actual events of war are secondary. It is how those events are perceived that occupies most of a ruler's time and effort.
Sun-Tzu Liao, journal entry, 5 August 3051, Outreach
Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy. Next best is to disrupt his alliances. The next best is to attack his army.
—Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Strategy and diplomacy have their place, but do not be afraid to engage with the enemy. A war has yet to be won where men do not die.
—Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao, in a speech to the graduating officers of Sian Martial Acade... (show all)my, Sian, 30 June 3056
"One who has few must prepare against the enemy; one who has many makes the enemy prepare against him."
—Sun Tzu, The Art of War
I go to war only when I am ready."
—from an interview with Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao, Sian University Press, 7 October 3057
And therefore only the enlightened sovereign and the worthy general who are able to use the most intelligent people as agents are certain to achieve great things. Secret operations are essential in war; upon them the army rel... (show all)ies to make its every move.
—Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Never place too much trust, power, or confidence in any one person. Too often he will end up failing you.
—Sun-Tzu Liao, journal entry, 24 June 3045 - Dedication
- For my lovely wife, Heather Joy Coleman.
For believing. - First words
- Precentor Demona Aziz stepped into the doorway of the dimly lit room, an office tucked into a corner of a huge warehouse, one of several the Word of Blake organization maintained on the planet Gibson.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)And when I do, they all will fall, burning star by burning star.
