Sister Time

John Ringos grandiose „Invasion“-Reihe, die inzwischen auch hierzulande zahllose Fans gefunden hat, wird mit diesem Roman fortgesetzt: Atemberaubende Kampfszenen, modernste Technik, furchtlose Helden — Science Fiction at its best! Hervorragend geeignet für alle Leser von „Mechwarrior-DarkAge“ und David Webers „Honor-Harrington“-Serie.

Vierzig Jahre nach der Invasion verstecken sich in den Trümmern der zerstörten Städte immer noch Posleen-Einheiten und warten darauf, zurückzuschlagen. Und dann ist da noch eine andere außerirdische Spezies, die mysteriösen Darhel, deren Pläne im Dunkeln liegen. Diesen Plänen auf die Spur zu kommen, ist die Aufgabe von Cally O’Neal, Tochter des legendären Commanders Michael O’Neal. Vor Jahren offiziell für tot erklärt, ist sie nun Mitglied einer Gruppe von Untergrundkämpfern — und muss begreifen, dass ihr Krieg gerade erst beginnt.

Cally O’Neal was trained from childhood as a premier killer. Officially listed as dead, for the past forty years she has lived a life of aliases, random lovers and targeted assassinations. This has led her to become the top in her profession, undefeatable, invulnerable. And in the process, she has lost, her soul. Now she, and the man she loves, must battle to reclaim it. But Cally will find that leaving her dark world of shadow identities, murder-for-hire, and deadly secrets will be more difficult than any of the many lethal operations she carried out in the past. Her employers think she knows too much to live, and the scores of enemies she has made still have her at the top of their hit lists. The real question is, will she win her soul only to lose her life?

Duty. Honor. Country.

Three words that resound in the heart of the warrior. But what is duty when country is gone? Where does honor lie when allies are revealed as enemies, when friends are not who they seem and when enemies are the ones we love?

For Cally O’Neal and the O’Neal Bane Sidhe, underground fighters against the tyranny of Earth’s Darhel “allies,” duty lies in the overthrow of the established order. For Major General Michael O’Neal, her father, duty lies in maintaining that order to prevent a reinvasion by the dreaded Posleen.

When diamond meets diamond, when O’Neal battles O’Neal, the only sure outcome is fireworks.
