Trapped amid a political conflict between The Crowned Confederacy of Mankind and one if its colonies, Audi Prabian and Nagisawa Chizuru continue their desperate hunt for The Silent Assassin. Will they be able to work together despite their fatal philosophical differences?
Planet Gleicherde's economy has successfully reached self-sustenance, and all the pieces required for independence are in place.

About the author
Adrian P.
16 books1 followerAdrian doesn't think of writing as a career, because career are activities people do to earn a living. For him, writing is a way to interpret life, to seek and understand why people, nature, and the world moves and behaves as it is. Or to put it less pretentiously, it's one heck of a fun thing to do.
A self-taught writer with no academic authority on storytelling (he wasted that on his career), he is interested reading, writing, and enjoying stories which strike delicate balance of plot (external conflict), character (internal conflict), and theme. He would gorge through soft romance and hard sci-fi alike, so long as they are hecking great.

“I’m experimenting with a state-of-the-art Terraforming module’
Author Adrian P. offers little in the way of biographical data, his space where he composes his books, his training, even this last name – so we are left to judge his writing solely on the basis of his books (numbering three at this point). We are told that during his university years he fell in love with dark stories. Fall of heroes. Worlds where flowers aren't stronger than guns. That was when he decided to be serious about writing, and began his first series: The Silent Assassin.
His books (this is Book 3 of the Silent Assassin Series) are science fiction fantasy and for those who are among the vast throng that are passionate about this genre this book will surely please. For those new to sci-fi fantasy be aware that the names of characters and palaces can stretch the imagination, and the language by definition is strange an compatible with the distant worlds and creatures.
Adrian wins points by summarizing his Book 2 before entering the current novel and that deserves repeating: ‘Audi Prabian and Nagisawa Chizuru defeated one of the most powerful mercenary companies in history, Omega Kepler. Their victory was pyrrhic, however, as over ten million lost their lives in the aftermath. Chizuru returned to her home planet, Kaneguni, and captured the clients of Omega Kepler: her own company, Nagisawa Corporation’s board of directors. She vowed to rebuild the company from scratch and cleanse its hierarchy from corruption while restoring its status as the largest financial titan in The Crowned Confederacy of Mankind. Chizuru hired Audi as her personal bodyguard, but this is merely a front. Using the information obtained from Omega Kepler’s leader, Jane Drake, Audi re-embarked on his hunt for The Silent Assassin, his master who disappeared six years prior, leaving him to near death in the harsh desert planet of Vurste. Meanwhile, The Crowned Confederacy of Mankind is approaching a political turmoil. Crown Prince Horlix was exiled for first-degree murder, but vanished after a group of unknown assailants kidnapped him into the depth of space. The future is uncertain. Humanity has an enemy hiding amongst the stars.’
Given that entre, the synopsis of THE PROFESSOR flows as follows: ‘Just after losing millions of lives and having its Crown Prince kidnapped by unknown forces six months ago, The Crowned Confederacy of Mankind is about to face another crisis. Planet Gleicherde, a highly industrialized and self-sustaining colony, is ready to declare independence. Unaware of the escalating tension, Audi Prabian and Nagisawa Chizuru embarked on a quest in Gleicherde to search for a man called The Professor. When they located him, the pair realizes they need to face Gleicherde's military, The Wehrmacht, in order to get to him. Meanwhile, The Crowned Confederacy's supreme military leader, The Grand Admiral, brought with him the 1st Fleet--humanity's mightiest space armada, to blockade the system. He's ready to wage a full-scale war against Gleicherde should the planet's governor not concede. In this shocking opening of a new arc, the seeds of conflict are sowed and ready to bloom. Will The Crowned Confederacy regain sovereignty over the rebellious planet? Will Audi and Chizuru ever meet The Professor, before their contrasting philosophy tear their partnership apart? What is the secret behind Gleicherde's confidence in facing The Crowned Confederacy's finest war machines? ...and who is truly behind this escalation of conflict?’
And now we learn that Book 3 is the being of a trilogy, an extension of the growth of ideas Adrian has sown to date. For those among the throngs that are passionate about sci-fi fantasy novels, this book will surely please. For those unfamiliar with the style of writing and the strange names of people and places and customs and myths the reading may be slow, but that is in no way meant to diminish the book’s stature. Adrian P. writes well and even inserts bit of wisdom and tactical turns of phrase that enhance the book’s appeal. The author knows how to keep his audience alert and makes plumbing the depths of this epic installment in his series worth the investment of time – and interest.

Audi Prabian is ruthless, and he is not going to stop until he finally defeats his teacher: The Silent Assassin.
Another great epic tale, this is like a combination of Star Wars and Game of Thrones, and the discussions about political matters expand not only beyond earth but space colonies elsewhere. The scale of this book is epic and I like how the fights are not only from the gruesome battles depicted here but also from political points of view, this is a nice contrast and it really helps the reader to connect with this world, you read all the parties opinions and angles, and you could easily agree with all of them, but there is so much more to still learn, and the fact that everything revolves around Audi makes it better.
A series tan can be expanded in so many directions and I really hope it happen soon, there is still a lot to know here and of course, more to enjoy.

A story that the author took great care in making and creating a world all it’s own. I found that the author does an amazing jog of providing details to this story. Creating a wonderful world within this series that you can truly feel part of. I found that this became a must read just after just a few pages and that I really wanted to know how the book continues from the first two books. The characters are well described and have depth to them, giving the reader the feeling of being part of the storyline. The author does sum up the previous book in the beginning of this one, which is great if you haven’t read the previous books to the series. I also really liked the details provided for the technology that the characters are using and the planets they are on. This is a must-read fantasy book.
