Publisher's Synopsis
Yearning for the pulp days, when glorious yarns were spun of great deeds?
Fret not! Grandmaster Wright here pens a triumph of Space Opera! The Greatest Empire, defeated but not destroyed, hidden in the outer stars, grows once more, gathering might both military and supernatural. Crime flourishes amid the core stars. The most cunning phantom thief of all, the Merry Catburglar, can walk through walls, see through security, and not be caught! But when she encounters the masked and black robed Faceless Man, First of the Four Dark Overlords, she faces a menace beyond mortal! Nightshadow, unseen, immaterial, is a master of espionage, able to cloud men's minds. But when he encounters an adept able to cloud his, he is overshadowed. Centurion Ansteel 3-10-ZL, loyal clone-trooper of the Inquisition, is called before the Grand Inquisitor himself, to have his heart and soul sifted by supernal arts, forbidden in the Empire. Have the warlocks and templars he spent his life hunting and harassing taken secret control of the Imperial worlds? Who are his true enemies? Where is Arcadia, the lost world holding the sole hope of salvation against the Dark Will? Read On! For All True Tales are but Part of a Greater!
