About the book
The final battle between the surviving houses of the Trust and their onetime enforcer Agent Graves has been joined, and casualties on both sides promise to be high. In this war, however, the line between soldier and civilian has all but vanished, and no one is giving much thought to collateral damage. But just as no plan of attack ever survives its first contact with the enemy, history shows that unexpected factors are often the most decisive--and that both sides are equally vulnerable.
