Description

New Life. New Rules.

Book 3 of the Citadel Series

A SECOND CHANCE.

AN ACT OF WAR.

A NEW HOPE.

The Citadel tower stands in ruins, while hundreds lie injured or dead.

On distant Earth, a powerful madman prepares to seize control of the lightrail network, in a move that will change the fate of humanity and the Esool alike.

All hope rests with a new species—represented by a young boy with unknown intentions and unlimited power. Will he be the savior of the colonies, or just speed up their destruction?

As one story ends, a universe of possibilities begins. Citadel and her crew become the pivot point of events that will echo throughout the universe, and history, for centuries to come.

"I opened one of [Kevin Tumlinson's] novels and immediately was hooked. I mean, he knows what he's doing. A writer who, bless him, knows how it's done."

— Orson Scott Card, Hugo and Nebula Award Winning Author of Ender's Game

"Few writers can blend science, history, and sheer suspense the way J. Kevin Tumlinson does. He's a true craftsman of the thriller, and a storyteller with both vision and heart. Every new book is an adventure that will keep you up all night."

— Kevin J. Anderson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dune: House Atreides
