Summary

L. E. Modesitt, Jr's bestselling SF and fantasy novels have made him one of the leading genre writers today. We are pleased to present his new novel,Octagonal Raven, a stand-alone SF adventure set in the distant future, in a society whose foundations are about to crumble. Someone is trying to kill Daryn Alwyn.Born to privilege, with pre-selected genetic advantages and the best nanotech augmentation his father's fabulous money can buy, Daryn spurned the lucrative family Media Network to seek his own path, a crafty raven among soaring eagles. After serving with distinction as a space pilot in the military, he enjoys successas a media consultant. But when he finds himself the target of sophisticated murder attempts, his world is turned upside down. It seems unlikely hissuccess outside the family business could have inspired such expensive assassination attempts, and his father and brother and sister would be more obvious targets within the family. Then his sister is killed, and Daryn is her heir--suddenly one of the richest and most powerful men in the world. Modesitt's new SF thriller lays bare the prejudices of the powerful in a fascinating future society, and reads like an express train. AUTHORBIO: L. E. MODESITT, JR. lives in Cedar City, Utah.
