Freedom dies not on the battlefield but with the betrayal of failed leaders. While Private Avery Shetty guides a small group of Galactic League soldiers to rescue, the overstretched Kedraalian Republic military faces other challenges. The disastrous campaign against the Oranians exposes the vulnerabilities of the unprepared fleet and distracts everyone from the real threat: the corrupt prime minister. Thanks to enemies old and new, the great experiment that had been the human republic faces collapse. Only heroes willing to question long-held beliefs and stand against impossible odds have any hope of victory. As a Marine, Shetty refuses to abandon his comrades or to forget his duties, but the struggle traps many noble warriors. Does action-packed military science fiction and sprawling space opera laced with espionage and intrigue interest you? If so, you need to pick up Final Treachery, book four in The Chronicle of the Final Light series.

This book examines the period between the unconditional surrender of Japan on 14 August 1945, and the arrival of Allied liberation forces in Japanese-occupied territories after 2 September 1945. The delay handed the Japanese a golden opportunity to set their house in order before Allied war crimes investigators arrived. After 14 August groups of Allied POWs were brutally murdered. Vast amounts of documentation concerning crimes were burned ahead of the arrival of Allied forces. POW facilities and medical experimentation installations were either abandoned or destroyed. Perhaps the greatest crimes were continuing deaths of Allied POWs from starvation, disease and ill-treatment after the Japanese surrender. The blame rests with the American authorities, and particularly General MacArthur, Supreme Allied Commander in the Pacific. MacArthur expressly forbade any Allied forces from liberating Japanese occupied territories before he had personally taken the formal Japanese surrender aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on 2 September 1945. Vice Admiral Lord Mountbatten, Commanding Allied forces in Southeast Asia, protested against this policy, believing that pandering to MacArthurs vanity and ego would mean condemning many starving and sick prisoners to death. Deaths among British and Commonwealth POWs were significant as opposed to American POWs who were already largely liberated in the Philippines and elsewhere.

In works of Western literature ranging from Homer’s Odyssey to Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? the giving and taking of hospitality is sometimes pleasurable, but more often perilous. Heffernan traces this leitmotiv through the history of our greatest writings, including Christ’s Last Supper, Macbeth’s murder of his royal guest, and Camus’s short story on French colonialism in Arab Algeria. By means of such examples and many more, this book considers what literary hosts, hostesses, and guests do to as well as for each other. In doing so, it shows how often treachery rends the fabric of trust that hospitality weaves.
