Publisher Description
In the far future revenge does not stop with death. For readers of John Scalzi's Old Man's War and Neuromancer by William Gibson.
"From its well-developed cast of characters to its innovative worldbuilding and intriguing plot, Brian Trent has crafted an ingenious masterpiece of military sci-fi.” - Grimdark Magazine
"Trent works in some thought-provoking speculation on the pliability of identity and technology’s ability to change human nature [...] It harkens back to pulp-era SF, and as such will most please readers seeking anything-goes action." - Publisher's Weekly
Harris Alexander Pope is the man who ended the Partisan War on Mars. All he seeks now is solitude and a return to the life that was stolen from him. Yet when he learns that the worst war criminals are hiding in other bodies, he is forced into an interplanetary pursuit.
Teaming up with other survivors eager for their own brand of vengeance, Harris begins to suspect a darker truth:
Maybe what he remembers about the war isn't what happened at all...

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
As this nimble, bloody space opera from Trent (Ten Thousand Thunders) opens, narrator Harris Alexander Pope is restored to full awareness of his own identity after 20 years undercover as a warrior on the Partisan side in the brutal Martian civil war. Now he's returned to the Order of Stone and tasked with assassinating the Partisan high command. Once he accomplishes this mission, however, and is reunited with his brother, David, president of Mars, Harris learns that the worst of the Partisan leaders have escaped by uploading their identities into new bodies. He must continue the hunt for these war criminals wherever—or whoever—they are now. Trent works in some thought-provoking speculation on the pliability of identity and technology's ability to change human nature. Mainly, though, the story leaps from one slick but forgettable high-tech fight scene to the next. It harkens back to pulp-era SF, and as such will most please readers seeking anything-goes action.
