Edge of Shadow
(2026)(The eighth book in the First Peacemaker series)
A novel by Aaron Bunce, J N Chaney and Terry Maggert
Alexander made good on his promise.
The Conoku have been returned to their ancestral home. Evidence against Vaz-Mar has also been secured, giving the GKU leverage against one of the galaxy's most dangerous men.
And yet the Tau Arbiter Courts are absorbing the GKU, bit by methodical bit. Now Alexander is competing with his own people — as if keeping the galaxy safe wasn't hard enough before.
The First Sorcerer is still on the loose. His own nerves are betraying him. And the Barundi, among his staunchest allies, are coming together for the first time in their bizarre history.
It turns out the Eternum kept the feline warriors separated for a reason. When Mogŭl gather, more than mischief follows. Violent clans form, driven by murderous impulses not even Ban Tarro can reason with or outrun.
Struggling to piece together the scattered Antares Code, Alexander turns his attention to the fracturing Barundi. Can they find cohesion and common purpose? Or will the murder kitties destroy their people's chances before a homeland can even be found?
Cornered by an ultimatum, betrayed by the institution he founded, and running out of body to lose, Alexander must decide what a peacemaker is when the law itself becomes the cage.
The hunt started in the light. But the Guild will begin in shadow.
Genre: Science Fiction
