The Life of Lord Bagrin J P Beach

Teetering on the edge of collapse, still reeling from Earth's treachery and Korzon's terrifying direct attack on the Cenough home system, Zequ Queen of Jimmian and Vezan establishes a unique new posting to lead her people through the storm - the Lord Admiral Commander William James Faridon. With the great Amoc-Marée, Anbrond ona Timisla Terrel struggling for life and unable to defend them, Zequ must learn to lean on her champion husband to organize their response.


On the other side of the galaxy, in the G'Zheret system, Korzon's contentious political factions are still trying to make sense of the shocking and stunning defeat of their new Super Carriers. No known force could possibly have shredded their fleet in mere seconds. But the streaming telemetry and scan reports are conclusive of one thing: something dreadful lurks in the Cenough system - something diabolical.

Halfway between these two belligerents, the nations of Earth wonder when they'll be dragged into this seemingly far away war. Quiet and ponderous, the cryptic Learning Engine AI calculates the inevitable results of staying hidden or stepping into world events - one more time. Does she dare to upset history again? Can humanity afford her not to?
