Coles In the Shadow of the Last Empire: When the world is held by a secret thread at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The world changes suddenly, without most noticing.
In windowless corridors, in nameless offices, on flights that no one remembers, the fate of nations is decided. Agents crossing continents, alliances that disappear in the early hours of the morning, secrets that spring up at the moment when everything seems firm: this is the territory where disguised chaos reigns.
Because true power does not always rise stridently. Sometimes it slips into whispers, into encrypted messages, into faces exchanged at other stations. The great civilizations, the empires of old, the diplomacies exposed to the day: all of them are vulnerable to the invisible threads of intelligence.
This novel moves on that edge. Here we will see realistic scenarios – from decision-making centers to cities on the verge of collapse – we will see spies who have a voice, who doubt, who choose, who betray. We will see power in its crudest form, without lukewarm cloths, in a world that can no longer sustain itself in inertia.
If you're willing to look beneath the surface of the apparent, come with me. Because in the shadow of the last empire, secrets have echoes, and those echoes can unleash storms.
Welcome to the game.
