His ship of assignment is participating in training exercises, and when an observer station unexpectedly explodes –- killing the \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Ragnarok\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;’s captain -– Pesadie Training Command has to come up with a cover story in a hurry or risk exposure of its black-market profiteering.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;There is a conveniently obvious explanation: the \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Ragnarok\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; did it on purpose. All Pesadie needs are a few confessions -- obtained by judicial torture, which creates its own truth. And a bitter enemy from Andrej’s earliest days in Fleet has been waiting for just such an opportunity to set a trap and bait it with the lives of people Andrej loves.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Andrej will have to fight Fleet itself to bring the \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Ragnarok\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; the only thing that can save the ship and crew from destruction –- a single piece of evidence with the potential to change the course of the history of Jurisdiction Space forever.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;A tightly woven space opera full of grand heroic gestures and characters strong enough to sustain all the action.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;-\u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Booklist\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Matthews' work here -- of projecting a concentrated vision of the horrors of the last hundred years into a space-operatic future -- is extraordinarily risky and emotionally difficult, but now that she has shown that the Judiciary universe holds hope as well as pathology and pain, I will be able to follow Koscuisko to whatever fate awaits him with an easier mind.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;-\u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Locus Magazine\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;","brand":"Baen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067779465456,"sku":"2940148297321","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148297321_p0.jpg?v=1763707715","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148297321","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
