'DAZZLING . . . THIS IS SPACE OPERA AT ITS BEST' Publishers Weekly
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Expanse comes a spectacular new space opera that sees humanity fighting for its survival in a war as old as the universe itself. Invasion is only the beginning . . .
The Carryx - part empire, part hive - has waged wars of conquest for centuries, destroying or enslaving species across the galaxy in its con_ict with an ancient and deathless enemy.
When they descend on the isolated world of Anjiin, the human population is abased, slaughtered and put in chains. The best and brightest are abducted, taken to the Carryx world-palace to join prisoners from a thousand other species.
Dafyd Alkhor, assistant to a prestigious scientist, is captured along with his team. Even he doesn't suspect that his peculiar insight and skills will be the key to seeing past their captors ' terrifying agenda.
Swept up in a con_ict beyond his control and vaster than his imagination, Dafyd is poised to become humanity's champion - and its betrayer.
This is where his story begins.

Buch (Taschenbuch)
A monumental saga!
In a distant future the remote world of Anjiin is attacked by the Carryx, an insectlike species. Many of the population are killed, some are brought to the world-palace of the attackers to prove their usefulness to the Carryx, a question of life or death. Among them is Dafyd Alkhor, a minor research assistent. Soon he finds himself at the epicenter of an ancient conflict - and he has to make a decision … „The Mercy of Gods“ is the breathtaking first book of „The Captive´s War“-trilogy. I´m eagerly awaiting the next part! If you like epic SF like „The Mote in God´s Eye“ or „A Fire Upon the Deep“ you will enjoy this book. (See also: Simmons, Die Hyperion-Gesänge)
