Titan's Shadow J M Kaukola

The Terran Provisional Authority rose from the ashes of the Collapse to ensure human survival. On a planet torn apart by catastrophe, the Authority wields supreme power over its scattered hive cities. Outside lie chaos and ruin, the remains of dead AI, and the madmen that inhabit the waste. Colonel William Halstead has served the State for a lifetime, fought on every front, and defeated every foe. As he prepares for retirement, this old soldier finds himself unable to escape his past. Chasing a thread from the tiniest of anomalies to the heights of the Authority, Halstead finds himself lost amid the ghosts of his past, confronted by crimes long buried. For him to prevail - for his teams to survive - he will need to deal with the worst of former friends and returning foes, as past deeds demand an accounting. Old lies, ancient crimes, and power games collide in part three of "The Sword".
