SOULFIRE…The psychic ability that is the secret behind the tezarian method of interstellar navigation is being exposed. The world of Cho and its elite pilots face enemies from without and within, threatening to tear them apart. Palaton must learn to traverse politics as expertly as he once did FTL space-but his partner Rand is missing and his emperor Panshinea is descending into madness. Survival might be the only victory available to him.Worse, a new drug called boost comes to Cho but will it be their salvation or their final doom?As for Rand, captured for vengeance, he has little hope of freedom or rescue. He has given his all so that humans might qualify to join the Compact of races and worlds and now faces being buried alive. He must dare to believe in himself as Palaton once did-a near impossible feat-to free himself or the dead of Sorrow will claim him forever.
