Even worse, the enemy Hafn are invading, and Jedao takes over General Kel Khiruev's fleet, which was tasked with stopping them. Only one of Khiruev's subordinates, Lieutenant Colonel Kel Brezan, seems to be able to resist the influence of the brilliant but psychotic Jedao.

The Kel soldiers under his command may be compelled to obey him, but they hate him thanks to a massacre he can't remember committing. Kujen's friendliness can't hide the fact that he's a tyrant.

Apparently the captain abandoned his duty to steal a magical artifact, the Dragon Pearl, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Sebin hopes to help clear their hero's name and restore honor to the clan. Nothing goes according to plan, however. As soon as Sebin arrives for orientation, they are met by a special investigator named Yi and his assistant, a girl named Min.

When Sebin is suddenly accused of collaborating with the enemy, the cadet realizes that Min is the most dangerous foe of all...

Yoon Ha Lee - Vezércsel
Egy ​képtelen háború megnyeréséhez hasonlóan képtelen eszközök kellenek. Mondjuk, egy ősi fegyver és egy áruló tábornok. Kel Cheris, a hexarchátus kapitánya az eretnekek ellen vívott csatában nem jóváhagyott módszert alkalmaz, ezért kegyvesztettséggel büntetik. A Parancsnokságtól azonban kap még egy lehetőséget, hogy kiköszörülje a becsületén esett csorbát: vissza kell foglalnia az ellenség által megszállt csillagerődöt. Ám az akció tétje nem csupán az ő karrierje, hiszen ha elbukik, a hexarchátus egész uralma meginoghat. Cheris minden reménysége a halott stratéga, Shuos Jedao – aki mégsem annyira halott, hogy ne segíthetne. Jedao egyrészről sosem vesztett életében egyetlen csatát sem, és az erődöt is jól ismeri. Másrészről azonban élete végén megőrült, és két teljes hadsereget mészárolt le – köztük a sajátját. A kapitánynak döntenie kell, megéri-e a stratégiai előny a vele járó veszélyeket. Mert Jedaóban talán még kevésbé bízhat, mint az életére törő ellenségeiben. A koreai családból származó író az amerikai SF új nemzedékéhez tartozik, aki a neves szerkesztő, Gardner Dozois szavai szerint „segített a zsánert a 21. században újrateremteni”. A Vezércsel a Locus magazintól elnyerte a legjobb első regény díját, de jelölték a rangos Hugo-, Nebula- és Arthur C. Clarke-díjakra is. „Lebilincselően érdekes katonai űropera. Kihagyhatatlan bemutatkozó regény.” – Stephen Baxter, az Antijég írója „Csodálatos és kegyetlen történet, amely bővelkedik spontán ötletekben.” – Alastair Reynolds Brit SF-díjas író
