Set on the vividly imagined world of Corus, Modesitt's well-crafted fifth volume of his Corean Chronicles picks up where the fourth book, Alector's Choice (2005), left off. Dainyl, an alector who's now a submarshal of the Myrmidons, and Mykel, a major commanding a rifle battalion who secretly possesses some of the psychic "Talent" of the ruling alectors, are useful to each other, but usefulness does not equate with complete trust. When Mykel discovers renegade alectors using forbidden weapons, Dainyl must respond to the threat with both force and delicacy. Meanwhile, the mysterious and powerful "ancients," natives the alectors thought extinct on Corus, communicate with both alector and man, stressing that change is needed for survival. Political scheming figures more than bloodshed and battle in this transitional installment. New readers should note that the first three volumes in the series (_Legacies_, etc.) form a separate trilogy covering events that occur thousands of years later. (Apr.)

From

The fifth of Modesitt's Corean Chronicles continues the story, begun in _ Alector's Choice_ (2005), of the Alector, Colonel Dainyl, and Captain Mykel, a gifted Corean human. Corus has been designed to become the new home of a technologically advanced species from a distant world who live by draining the biological life force from a planet and then moving to another. The preparations for transfer from world to world are the responsibility of the Alectors, who are psychically talented and have access to the superior weapons of the home planet. The time for a transfer is approaching, but the intrigues among the Alectors, launched in _ Alector's Choice_, have now become outright battles. At the highest level, the colonel and, further down the hierarchy, the captain must unravel the intrigues if they and those for whom they are responsible are to survive. For maximum enjoyment, read immediately after _ Alector's Choice_. Frieda Murray
