Inhaltsangabe
First in The Twilight Galaxy series. A swashbuckling science fantasy adventure in the tradition of classic
sword and planet fiction.
Carkston Monitor is a swordsman without a future. On his pre-industrial home world of Kvasir, a bold
scheme to earn a seat among the nobility collapses spectacularly — leaving him drunk in a roadside
tavern when a spaceship captain named Welloons makes him an offer he can't refuse.
The offer lands Carkston on Dekason: a civilized world populated by aristocrats who fight duels over
jacket colors, argue bitterly about the proper shades of seasonal attire, and let the machinery of their
civilization slowly rust in place. He's sold at auction for thirty-five thousand besants to Ahteen the Younger
— young, arrogant, surprisingly dangerous with a blade — and settles in as fencing master and novelty
exhibit at the Geotherm Syndicate estate.
The arrangement lasts until Ahteen, facing social ruin, throws Carkston to the wolves to save his own
reputation. Suddenly Carkston is a man without a position, without legal standing on an alien world, and
with a vengeful nobleman paying licensed killers to put him in the ground.
Which means it's time to improvise.
Teaming up with Bestian — charming gangster, reluctant idealist, and head of an Unsanctioned House —
Carkston turns the social warfare of Dekason's aristocracy against itself. He didn't come here to change
the world. But somebody's going to bleed before he goes home.
Perfect for fans of Jack Vance, Leigh Brackett, and classic adventure science fiction. Complete story,
more to come in The Twilight Galaxy series.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. On the feudal world of Kvasir, lowly armsman Carkston Monitor steals an ancient glider and launches a one-man raid to shatter two enemy armies-hoping to win a baron's daughter and a seat among the Peerage. His audacious strike succeeds. and utterly ruins a secret plan of the nobility. Banished in disgrace, he's dumped on the decaying planet Dekason, where stagnant syndicates duel with dueling swords and forbidden electromag pistols. Now Carkston is done playing by anyone's rules. He forges a deadly alliance with an Unsanctioned House, turns rival nobles' own vendettas against them, and unleashes a whirlwind of sabotage, estate raids, and blazing gunfights that threaten to topple the rotten aristocracy of a dying world. One outcast. One stolen glider. One chance to seize the stars-or burn both planets down trying. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9798251533446
