Jonathan Fisker is no longer alone. As tensions across the Thirteen Worlds build with the shifting currents of the Trans-World War, Jonathan Fisker isn't sure if his small group of friends can stand up against the Common Cause. With the ever-mysterious figure of the Cymantus gathering strength, the Common Cause's plan of destroying the Thirteen Worlds and constructing a new empire is becoming infinitely more dangerous and elusive. But since their destruction of the Ozridian's Creed, Jonathan and his friends have gathered strength and allies, too. A mysterious organization that has so long lurked in the shadows has proved to be willing to assist Jonathan and his friends in defeating the Common Cause's Cymantus Objective. With their combined forces, the Common Cause will have to fight harder to resist the influence of peace. In The Empire of Cymantus, old friends and new allies come together in an extraordinary battle between the power of malice and the force of an entire agency looking to restore the Thirteen Worlds to their prior glory.
