The Life of Lord Bagrin J P Beach

Seven years after the fall of The Watcher, the Jimmian economy is struggling to recover from the forced evacuation of nearly forty million of its citizens. On Aestatle, most of those refugees have settled into a humble, if comfortable, lifestyle. Aestatle is still the paradise it was when its discovery sparked the long simmering Jimmian/Korzon war, over twenty years ago. Korzon hasn't forgotten their lost world or the brutal events at Meleknough 135a1. Neither have they forgotten or forgiven the hated name of William Faridon. And though William and Her Majesty, the Queen Zequ, have made a life together, not everyone is happy with affairs of state. After eight years of silence, Korzon has a devastating new weapon to use and new allies to stand with her. The calm around their long, cold war is about to explode. And Jimmian's time of peace has run out. Deep in the mountains of Belenghyr, another power grows. The great Amoc-Marée, Anbrond ona Timisla Terrel, known to a few as Cinthia Ann Faridon, broods over the nature and purposes of The Loop. If Korzon comes to the Jimmian star system, they may find it better defended than they expect.
