Voice of the Whirlwind

Steward, a Beta-class clone, awakens with his Alpha's memories, only to discover they are fifteen years out of date. His consciousness is a relic from a past era, before an interstellar war decimated the powerful policorp he served and drastically reshaped galactic politics. The life he remembers no longer exists: his wife has divorced him, along with a second wife he cannot recall, and most of his comrades perished in a futile battle on the planet Sheol. Now, an enigmatic alien race has entered the galactic stage, stirring a complex web of intrigue and danger. The most chilling revelation? Someone has murdered him, and the clone he inhabits is merely a successor. As Steward grapples with a shattered identity and a radically altered universe, he must unravel the mystery of his own death and navigate a treacherous landscape of corporate espionage, alien diplomacy, and personal ghosts, all while questioning the very nature of his existence.
