Summary
- Captain Dominic Flandry has been knighted for his many services to theTerran Empire — an Empire which is old, jaded, and corrupt, as Flandrywell knows. And while that “Sir” before his name may be an addedattraction to comely ladies, he expects that it will also bring him less welcomeattention from envious “colleagues” within the empire. What it isnot likely to do is make him more of an object of interest to the Merseians,whose plots he has repeatedly foiled and who are much too aware of how muchsimpler their plans to replace the Empire would be if he were the lateSir Dominic Flandry. Flandry himself has come to understand that there may be nomore point to all his victories than that a few trillion of his fellow creaturesmay live out their lives before the inevitable coming of the Long Night ofgalactic barbarism. At best, he may have postponed its coming and shortened itsduration. But if that is the most he can achieve, so be it — he’ll keep onfighting, hoping that the barbarians, too, will pass, followed by a new round ofcivilization.
