Mystery and intrigue with the hero of the Praxis

The people of the Imperium think of Captain Caroline Sula as the last remaining heir of an aristocratic line, an ace military pilot, and a brilliant insurgency leader responsible for the retaking of their home planet from a conquering species. They're right on 2 of those 3 counts--but the truth of the other is a deep, dark secret which torments her in her sleep. And now someone from her past appears who may blow that secret wide open--never mind the fact that someone is setting her up to be sent to prison, and someone else is out to kill her.

This is a science fiction political thriller featuring one of the main characters from the Dread Empire's Fall / Praxis series. Rather than clever military strategy and battles like the earlier books, the plot for this one features mystery, assassination attempts, and clever maneuvering -- with imaginative worldbuilding on a future earth.

Reading the first three novels is not required for enjoyment of this book, but it will definitely enhance it.
