The galaxy is at peace. The Szuiltans no longer exist, The Reagold Corporation has been dissolved, and Steve Drake, space trader and veteran of The Szuiltan War, is bored. But, as New Szuilta builds on the ashes of the old, a last, desperate experiment by the Szuiltans is secretly reaching maturity. Before long, Steve, Ursa, Martin, and others will find themselves drawn, once again, to the frontline in a battle against an enemy they thought they had already defeated.
Born in 1959, and preferring not to think too hard about it, Neil Davies writes genre fiction (mostly science fiction and horror, but he refuses to be held to that). When not writing books, he records music with his son as The 1850 Project, and paints pictures of dubious artistic merit with acrylic paints. When not creating, he likes to read books, listen to music, and watch well-made films and trashy TV. A solitary animal by nature, he nevertheless lives with his long-suffering wife and two adult children in the Wirral, UK.
