He killed more people than anyone in history...
The vast, star-spanning Third Imperium dominates charted space and provides Humaniti and its many other sophont citizens both security and prosperity. One source of imperial security is the Quarantine: the specialized agency (and agents) and the policies that protect against the alien dangers that could devastate whole worlds and destroy entire biomes.
Jonathan Bland is such an agent: a Decider, empowered by the Emperor himself to deal with the inevitable crises of empire. In the service of the Empire, he has scrubbed worlds and killed more people than anyone in the history of Humaniti; he has saved a thousand times as many lives. Bland died centuries ago, but they re-activate his recorded personality whenever a new threat appears. When the crisis is over, they expect he will meekly return to oblivion. He has other ideas...
The chronicle of Bland steps through details and secrets of the history of the interstellar empire spanning four centuries and touching on everyday events, political intrigue, deadly dangers, Arbellatra, Encyclopediopolis, Capital, the Karand's Palace, and a Tigress-class Dreadnought. |
