Three novels and three novellas together for the first time in volume
six of multiple Hugo- and Nebula-award-winning Poul Anderson's Technic
Civilization science fiction adventure epic. In the twilight of the
Terran Empire, one secret agent stands ready with the grit and wits to
save a corrupt empire by hook or by crook.
In the twilight of the Terran Empire, one man exists who can save his
empire--and civilization itself--by hook or by crook, whether his
"betters" appreciate his efforts or not. Flandry is both a James Bond
style agent of empire, and agent-provocateur of change. Flandry is a
heroic but tragic figure: a man who knows too much history, who knows
that battle and scheme as he will the Long Night of Empire is
approaching. If that darkness is not to fall in his own lifetime, must
do what he can. And anyone, human or alien, who gets in his way, will
most definitely regret it.
Contains three complete Flandry novels collected in one volume for the
first time: The Plague of Masters, Go Home, Hunters of the Sky Cave
and A Knight of Ghosts and Shadows. This is the sixth entry in the
seven-volume complete cycle of The Technic Civilization Saga.
