His command, the \u003cem\u003eBelisarius\u003c\/em\u003e, is a star-leaping stallion leashed to a solitary and remote sun, watching over a long-suffering world the enigmatic Ciphers abandoned after the Great War. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFar from straining at his leash, Hadrian has come to accept his posting, even at times to enjoy it-perhaps because the heroic official record behind his rapid promotion to captain hides a much darker truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhatever Sorăna Mirra's childhood dreams were, she's long since forgotten them. Twenty-five years as a marine will do that. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMirra commands a team of marine special operators, hand-picked to fight humanity's oldest foe-the Kyrans. Time and again they defeat the vicious saurians, knowing they'll get no credit for their victories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHadrian and Mirra are separated by half a galaxy, by service, and by a lifetime's experiences. But when each of them is targeted in ruthless attacks, their hunt for answers sets them on a collision course. Their clash will decide the fate of an entire world-and reveal a shadowy new enemy that humanity and its allies are not prepared to fight.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 404\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48367981101277,"sku":"9781738314317","price":34.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/aML2sbjLLM9781738314317.webp?v=1786618533","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/lessons-of-war-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
