Kiranis Book 4

'Curse these abilities,' he thought. 'That a man can feel the pain of others from so far away. Better to know of horrors that befall those only at a distance.'

A GREATER WAR LOOMS

The Eternal Empress has made her way to the Garran worlds, ready to bleed them dry. But Philip Arthur is also at Sieltor Prime, and he will need to choose between vengeance and alliance. With what he has learned of this universe, nihilism may indeed win out.

Sent to Earth as vanguard of the empress, Janey Echad must silence the voices in her head if she is to face the great enemy to come. First she will face Mryra Yln, a Jaevisk Traveller alone in this galaxy, determined to bring his brothers and sisters home to sail again the Shimmering Seas and retake Kiranis. But Janey is not alone…

Amidst the developing Garran occupation of Earth, a small force of humans and Garran must set aside their prejudices to focus on their common enemy.

 

On Telena, the Si refugees are imprisoned on a devastated world, and while they seek escape, a more personal destiny is unfolding, as Becca Echad confronts the World Killer.​

 

As all this unfolds, the now adult Naveen has yet to become the Prophet, and many seek to control his destiny. But what is fated for him will set him upon a terrible path from which no one can turn him.

Yet still Absolution awaits.

Murray Samuelson, Monster Librarian

The fourth volume in Ronald A. Geobey's magnum space opus, Tears of the Dragon continues along the path established by the previous three volumes: multiple plotlines intertwined with many characters, all heading for various unknown outcomes.  This is SERIOUSLY complex stuff, on the level with the most multi-faceted material Kim Stanley Robinson or Frank Herbert ever wrote. One thing is certain: the world-building and layering of plot threads is staggering, I don't think I've ever seen it done on this scale before. Regardless of whether you love or hate this series, it's a monumental achievement that is almost impossible to ignore. Recommended for fans of the series.  For new readers who want to give it a shot, make sure to start with the first book, you CANNOT read this series out of order.
