‘The owner of the most powerful imagination in science fiction’ – Ken Follett, author of The Pillars of the Earth

Lawrence is the sergeant of a washed-out platoon, taking part in the bungled invasion of yet another human colony world.

The giant corporations call such campaigns ‘asset realization’. In practice, it’s simple piracy.

When he’s on the ground, being shot at and firebombed by resistance forces, he recalls stories of the Temple of the Fallen Dragon.

Its priests supposedly guard a treasure hoard large enough to buy lifelong happiness. So Lawrence decides to mount a dangerous private-enterprise operation of his own.
