Two young companions, Totho and Salma, arrive at Tark to spy on the menacing Wasp army, but are there mistakenly apprehended as enemy agents. By the time they are freed, the city is already under siege. Over in the imperial capital the young emperor, Alvdan, is becoming captivated by a remarkable slave, the vampiric Uctebri, who claims he knows of magic that can grant eternal life. In Collegium, meanwhile, Stenwold is still trying to persuade the city magnates to take seriously the Wasp Empire's imminent threat to their survival. In a colorful drama involving mass warfare and personal combat, a small group of heroes must stand up against what seems like an unstoppable force. This volume continues the story that so brilliantly unfolded in Empire in Black and Gold - and the action is still non-stop.

As good as the first one technically, but taking a star off for defining a character by and only their mental illness. Thanks but no thanks.

3.0 Imperium atakuje (Adrian Tchaikovsky "Klęska ważki")
Twórcy literatury fantastycznej uwielbiają pisać cykle. I w przeciwieństwie do autorów kryminałów, którzy wprawdzie tworzą kolejne tomy z tymi samymi bohaterami, ale z oddzielnymi sprawami, co pozwala na potraktowanie każdego utworu jako odrębnej całości, w fantastyce poszczególne tomy są ze sobą śc...

Nutshell: survivor of genocide uses general belligerence involving all prior protagonists as cover to retrieve numinous object.The number and variety of perspectives increases beyond the point of easy management in this volume. Narrative twists and turns like a twisty turny thing as the plot assim...
