Plot Summary of A Knight of Ghosts and Shadows
"This, the darkest of the Dominic Flandry novels, deals with two of Flandry's relationships: with his illegitimate son, and with the second true love of his life. At the same time, the alien spy Aycharaych, working for/with the Merseian enemies of the Terran Empire, is sowing trouble, trying to use the cycles of human history to his advantage. By the time the book is over, Flandry has foiled his plots, but reached the nadir of his personal life."
Ken Norlie, Resident Scholar
