For centuries, the Stagnant Protocol has been forgotten by the universe: an empire populated by a race that can never advance... a race the Master seeks to seize control of.

Unfortunately for him, he has a rival - Calantha - and she understands how to manipulate the system better than he could ever hope. His only chance of defeating her lies in the hands of some old acquaintances, whether they realise it or not.

One thing, however, is certain. Whichever of them may win, the Stagnant Protocol is destined to lose...

Reviews

The War Master: Killing Time is another tapestry showing a plan of Derek Jacobi’s always wonderfully evil War Master. James Goss and Lou Morgan have crafted the story of how a society can fall by one man with an ability to put the right words in the right places, somehow being both prophetic and incredibly prescient to the current state of the world. A must listen. 9/10.

Ranging from political intrigue to devastating reunions, Killing Time is another triumph for the War Master range. While it might hit a tad too close to current events for some, even after nearly a year's delay in release, for those who enjoy good drama with an SF twist, this set comes recommended.
