| Summary: | "Thirteen years after the events of Madness in Solidar, Alastar has settled into his role as the Maitre of the Collegium. He would like nothing better than to focus his efforts on his family and making Imager Isle more self-sufficient. However, bad harvests and worse weather spark acts of violence and murder between the High Holders and the Factors. Once again, Alastar must maintain a careful political balance, but when someone begins killing students he must act. Trying to protect his imagers and hold Solidar together for the good of all, Alastar stumbles onto a plot involving illegal weapons and conspiracy."--Page [4] of cover. |

| Author Notes: | After graduation, Modesitt began to write, but he did not have a novel published until he was 39 years old. He believes that a writer must "simultaneously entertain, educate and inspire... [failing any one of these goals], the book will fall flat." A part-time writer, he produces an average of one book per year, but he would eventually like to write full-time. The underlying themes of many of his science fiction novels are drawn from his work in government work and involve the various aspects of power and how it changes the people and the structure of government. Usually, his protagonist is an average individual with hero potential. Much of his "Forever Hero Trilogy"--Dawn for a Distant Earth, The Silent Warrior, and In Endless Twilight--is based on his experiences working with the Environmental Protection Agency. He made The New York Times Best Seller List in 2012 with his title Princeps. (Bowker Author Biography) |
