Produktbeschreibung

For the Honor of the Agency By Andrew J Harvey Perfect for fans of C.J. Cherryh's Foreigner series, Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice, Lois McMaster Bujold's - Vorkosigan Saga or Elizabeth Moon's Serrano Legacy. Haunted by the horrors of war and the weight of her new role as envoy to the Sultan Line, Margaret Peric reaches her breaking point. But with the support of her estranged mother, her devoted sister Louise, and a slowly healing bond with Markus Ackov and his daughter, Jessie, Margaret begins the long road to recovery. Meanwhile, on the volatile world of Sultan, Jade Carvello and her partner Carlos Babineaux uncover a terrifying plot: eco-terrorists are preparing to unleash a devastating weapon-one that could destabilize the entire Cross-Temporal Empire. As Carlos walks a dangerous line between spycraft and exposure, Jade must protect Margaret, now a symbol of diplomatic hope, from enemies closing in on all sides. But when a deadly bombing rocks the Sultan capital and Margaret is taken hostage, survival becomes uncertain. The conspiracy leads back to a line thought lost to history-and to a biological weapon born from its ancient secrets. As the C-TE prepares for war, For the Honor of the Empire delivers a gripping story of political intrigue, emotional resilience, and interdimensional conflict-where loyalty and love must stand against terror, and redemption comes at the highest cost. Margaret Peric never expected her new post as head of the Cross-Temporal Empire's Department of Agriculture and Food to be life-threatening. But when a whistleblower is nearly murdered, she and her bodyguard, Jade Carvello, uncover a conspiracy that spans alternate Earths and threatens the Empire's very stability. As Margaret battles political sabotage and worsening PTSD, Jade dives into a tangled investigation-only to fall for Carlos Babineaux, a flirtatious anarchist hiding more than one secret. Their romance puts both their missions and lives at risk. When a child is kidnapped and evidence points to a line thought destroyed in a civil war, Margaret turns to the private Rucker's Agency for help, defying the government that abandoned her. Meanwhile, Jade and Carlos race upriver through hostile territory, where betrayal could come from friend or foe. Blending high-stakes action, slow-burn romance, and rich world-building, For the Honor of the Agency is a thrilling adventure through a fractured multiverse-where loyalty is fragile, and every decision could reshape the future.
