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.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dylan McFadyen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1738314316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781738314317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dylan McFadyen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Dylan McFadyen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623692022015,"sku":"9781738314317","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lessons-of-war-dylan-mcfadyen-9781738314317","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
