Scarred by war. In pursuit of truth.

Army veteran True Brighton left the service when the development of robotic helicopters made her training as a pilot obsolete. Now she works at Requisite Operations, a private military company established by friend and former Special Ops soldier Lincoln Han. ReqOp has embraced the new technologies. Robotics, big data, and artificial intelligence are all tools used to augment the skills of veteran warfighters-for-hire. But the tragedy of war is still measured in human casualties, and when True makes a chance discovery during a rescue mission, old wounds are ripped open. She’s left questioning what she knows of the past, and resolves to pursue the truth, whatever the cost.

THE LAST GOOD MAN is a powerful, complex, and very human tale.

Acclaimed hard-SF author Linda Nagata introduces a new world: a human colony whose people have forgotten their past, on a tremendous structure that forms a great ring around the sun… where the sky is bisected by an arch of light and the mysterious “silver” rises from the ground each night to completely transform the landscape—and erase from existence anything it touches.

Young Jubilee is devastated when her brother Jolly is caught and taken by the silver. But when a forbidding stranger with the incredible power to control the silver comes seeking Jolly—and claiming that Jolly knows him—Jubilee first distrusts the man, then fears him and flees. For she has learned an impossible secret: Jolly may still be alive… and may somehow become the catalyst for the annihilation of everything she knows if she does not find him first.

Jubilee’s flight will lead her to discoveries she could never have imagined, from the secret history of her civilization and her people’s origins to the true nature of the silver, to the awesome forgotten memories within her. And with these she will forever alter her world’s future… unless the dark stranger, relentless in his pursuit, achieves his goal of destroying it. One way or another, Jubilee’s final confrontation will change everything….
