John Scalzi - Árnyékszövetség (2021)

The Colonial Alliance is going through the toughest period of its existence: its relationship with Earth has deteriorated, as its inhabitants feel betrayed, and its official and behind-the-scenes relations with the Conclave are complicated and opaque. In addition, in an unknown part of the universe, a conspiracy was hatched, which aimed not only to overthrow them, but also something much more terrible.

We have never faced a greater danger than this: Lt. Harry Wilson and his known companions must use a sophisticated strategy to dismantle this shadow alliance and settle diplomatic relations in all directions so that we can live on... hopefully by learning from our mistakes.

With The Shadow Alliance, John Scalzi puts an end to the story that began with the sounds of rebellion. The four long, connected short stories in the volume are a fitting farewell to the long-standing series. For a while.
