About this listen

Panoply is a small, efficient police force, dedicated to maintaining the rule of democracy among the ten thousand disparate city states orbiting the planet Yellowstone.

Ingvar Tench was one of Panoply's most experienced operatives. So why did she walk alone and virtually unarmed into a habitat with a vicious grudge against her organisation?

As his colleagues pick up the pieces, Dreyfus must face his conscience. Four years ago, when an investigation linked to one of his most dangerous adversaries got a little too personal, Dreyfus arranged for Tench to continue the enquiry by proxy.

In using her - even though he had his reasons - did Dreyfus also put her in the line of fire?

And what does Tench's misadventure tell him about an enemy he had hoped was dormant?

The continuing saga of Panoply and the themes that run through the first and second books.
I loved every word, its so well written and spoken. It's part detective fiction, thriller and science fiction and as usual written with such skill and imagination it will blow your mind. AR is the best sc fi writer out there.

I loved the idiosyncratic narrator's style, his cadence and pronunciation. The settings, characters and plot twists were superb!

a wonderfully engaging story

Another excellent contribution to the Prefect Dreyfuss series. Delivers everything we have come to enjoy from these stories with all the great characters. Very good ending too. That wraps it up for me.

Brilliant conclusion
