Overcaptain

by L. E. Modesitt Jr. Narrated by Kirby Heyborne

Overview

L. E. Modesitt, Jr. continues the Saga of Recluce, the long-running, bestselling epic fantasy series. Overcaptain, the sequel to From the Forest, continues to follow the early life of a man known by many names depending on who you ask-hero, tyrant, emperor.



Alyiakal, overcaptain in the Mirror Lancers of Cyador, has completed his tour of duty as officer-in-charge of a small, remote post. He just wants to finish and see his best friend consorted and assume his next post assignment. If only it were that easy.



He discovers corruption in the Merchanter Clans of Cyador, but investigating Mirror Lancer officers end up dead. Before he can go on leave, he has to replace one of these officers, close a post, dodge an attempt on his life, and an investigation from Magi-i.



At Lhaarat, Alyiakal is assigned as a deputy commander to a post that never had one, and the commander doesn't want one-and that's just the beginning of Alyiakal's problems.
