In all the galaxy, there are no more fearsome warriors than the Emperor's Imperial Guard, and none is more loyal than Kir Kanos. But when Carnor Jax-the most formidable of this elite brotherhood-betrays the Emperor and orders the murder of the Guard, Kanos must escape to avenge his master. For Kir Kanos, the last loyal Imperial Guard, and the final threat to Jax's rise to power, it is vengeance or death-there are no alternatives!
