But defying all odds, he excels in his training and is nominated to be one of the ten swordmasters of the Tel Kasar high council, where he hopes to spend his remaining days alongside his father Lysander and his favorite teacher Draken. However, nothing can prepare him for the catastrophe that is about to unfold. Follow Sezan as he gets framed for a crime he didn't commit and faces the ultimate betrayal that is bound to destroy not just the brotherhood but his entire planet.

As he's trying to unravel the plot, Sezan joins forces with the boy's aunt and begins to discover a tragic past he never knew existed... See the events that lead to the Xenian conquest of the galaxy and witness the epic fall of the Tel Kasar brotherhood in The Ordeal of Sezan Krynne! As always, this episode in the Eternal Horizon series is packed with character, starship and chapter illustrations that support the story.

Emperor Whisperers charts a comparative history of the two largest strains of ancient philosophy, from the first millennium BC to around AD 500. The book examines how philosophy arose from atheism in both China and Greece but entered a cul de sac when atheism spread from the elites to the middle classes. China's philosophy evolved to oppose law with morals, which created a mandarin class of "emperor whisperers," while Western philosophy was complicated by competing political systems that were only harmonized by the triumph of the Roman Empire. As antiquity came to an end, imported new religions - Buddhism and Christianity - reintroduced faith into elite thought and kickstarted the Middle Ages.
