“Captain Muhbarat was, I’m afraid, a man full of foolish arrogance. He refused to concede even when it was clear that his cause was lost. Because of him, many good men needlessly lost their lives.”

  The young officer stepped forward and presented Faulkner with the weapon.

  “I don’t understand. Why are you giving me Muhbarat’s sword?”

  Sunderam pressed his hands together, as if waiting for the right words to come.

  “Forgive me, captain. This isn’t Muhbarat’s sword. This is mine.”

  The three Yakutian officers came to attention before saluting Faulkner, holding the position fractionally longer than was necessary.

  “Captain Faulkner,” Sunderam said. “I offer you this sword as a sign of my utmost respect. You are, sir, the superior opponent.”

  Faulkner, clasping the sword to his side, managed to return the salute.

  But when he tried to speak, he found that he couldn’t.

Their mission is to go behind enemy lines and track down a missing scientist. Needless to say, nothing is as it seems and his plans quickly go out the window.
