Overview

One man can make-or break-Earth's iron grip on its galactic colonies: Stone Chalmers. Spy. Assassin. Earth's top operative. The newly-rediscovered high-tech colony of Minerva quickly submits to a wormhole linking it to Earth. With a cloud over his career from his previous mission, Stone has no choice but to follow orders: spend weeks trapped on the ship towing the wormhole to Minerva. Once there, corroborate reports of the colonists' odd beliefs. Going undercover, with a cover persona overlaid on his mind and no threat in sight, Stone expects a mission beneath his talents. But then Stone discovers far more than odd beliefs. A pervasive cult dominates the colony. Its thugs threaten his body. Its priests threaten his spirit. Fighting for his life-and soul-he comes face to face with a terrifying conspiracy. By surrendering, Minerva's leaders pose the greatest threat ever to Earth's hegemony. Join Stone in his most harrowing mission yet, facing a world of dangerous rebels in this, the third adventure in his complete four-novel series. Previously published as To All High Emprise Consecrated by Raymund Eich.
