18.04 €

Dva roky po zmanipulovaném soudu se Wilf Brim vrací, aby konečně udělal pořádek... Wilf Brim začíná po procesu, který ho připravil o členství v imperiální flotile, znovu žít. Kolem něj zuřivě pokračuje válka, v níž se těžce zkoušenému Impériu konečně začíná dařit. Třebaže císař Onrad dočasně nemůže vrátit Brimovi hodnost, uvědomuje si, že jsou mise jako stvořené pro Wilfovy schopnosti, které může zvládnout i jako civilista, a tak se Brim ocitá ve víru dění, byť poněkud ilegálně. Nicméně jeho nepřátelé brzy zjistí, že Brim, třebaže bez uniformy, pro ně stále představuje nebezpečí - nyní dokonce možná ještě větší než dřív. A tak zosnují intriku s cílem připravit ho o život a vlákají ho do tak nebezpečné situace, že se Brim bude mocis polehnout pouze na své instinkty, aby si zachránil život. Že by opravdu nadešla Brimova poslední hodina a s ní i konec tohoto příběhu?
