The 28th Century celebrates seven hundred years of The Crowned Confederacy's rule over mankind and its space colonies.
In this third installment of the series, BOOK III: The Professor presents an explosive beginning to an epic new arc spanning three volumes. Like the previous two books, The Silent Assassin series brings its reader into a universe of schemes and intrigues, where battles are fought in both the physical and the political fronts. The series centers around a young mercenary named Audi Prabian, who seeks to find and defeat his mentor: The Silent Assassin.
THE PROFESSOR
Just after losing millions of lives and having its Crown Prince kidnapped by unknown forces six months ago, The Crowned Confederacy of Mankind is about to face another crisis. Planet Gleicherde, a highly industrialized and self-sustaining colony, is ready to declare independence.
Unaware of the escalating tension, Audi Prabian and Nagisawa Chizuru embarked on a quest in Gleicherde to search for a man called The Professor. When they located him, the pair realizes they need to face Gleicherde's military, The Wehrmacht, in order to get to him.
Meanwhile, The Crowned Confederacy's supreme military leader, The Grand Admiral, brought with him the 1st Fleet--humanity's mightiest space armada, to blockade the system. He's ready to wage a full-scale war against Gleicherde should the planet's governor not concede.
In this shocking opening of a new arc, the seeds of conflict are sowed and ready to bloom. Will The Crowned Confederacy regain sovereignty over the rebellious planet? Will Audi and Chizuru ever meet The Professor, before their contrasting philosophy tear their partnership apart? What is the secret behind Gleicherde's confidence in facing The Crowned Confederacy's finest war machines?
...and who is truly behind this escalation of conflict?
