So that no faction could ever dominate. So that the balance held.The Hives' façade of solidity is the only hope they have for maintaining a semblance of order, for preventing the public from succumbing to the savagery and bloodlust of wars past. But as the great secret becomes more and more widely known, that façade is slipping away.Just days earlier, the world was a pinnacle of human civilization. Now everyone-Hives and hiveless, Utopians and sensayers, emperors and the downtrodden, warriors and saints-scrambles to prepare for the seemingly inevitable war.Praise for Seven Surrenders"A cornucopia of dazzling, sharp ideas set in rich, wry prose that rewards rumination with layers of delight.
