The Shadow Warrior, Book 1: A Positronic Book

By Chris Bunch

Book Overview

Ten years after humanity's victory in the Great War, most people believe the terrifying Al'ar have been defeated forever. Joshua Wolfe knows better. Once a hero of the war, Wolfe lived among the alien enemy-first as their friend and later as their prisoner. He learned their customs, mastered their lethal disciplines, and discovered how to fight and kill as they do.

While humanity spreads confidently across the galaxy, Wolfe remains certain that the Al'ar are not truly gone. His warnings are ignored, but signs of their return soon force him back into a conflict he thought he had escaped. To confront the approaching threat, Wolfe must draw upon the dangerous knowledge and abilities that have left him caught between the civilization of his birth and the alien culture that transformed him.

The first novel in the Shadow Warrior trilogy, The Wind After Time launches a fast-moving saga of interstellar warfare, alien secrets, political intrigue, and personal vengeance. Long ago, the Al'ar gave Joshua Wolfe another name: Shadow Warrior. Now the time has come for him to fulfill its lethal promise.
