For Alfred Bester, "the Corps was mother, the Corps was father." But now, his Corps was doomed... Under the ruthless command of Alfred Bester, Psi Corps's reign of terror reached unspeakable new heights – and touched off a civil war among the telepaths. Corps minions fought renegade defectors – a new resistance movement determined to overthrow Bester's monstrous regime. But the tide was destined to turn... Interstellar Alliance President John Sheridan intervenes to stop the bloodshed as a new Psi Corps rises from the ashes. Its first mission: to hunt down and neutralize war criminals, individuals such as Bester himself. Once feared across the galaxy, the dreaded hunter becomes the fleeing prey – with Michael Garibaldi in hot pursuit. Underground and on the run, Bester builds a new life on the ruins of his secret, sinister past. But as the forces of justice – and vengeance – close in, he must confront the hell he created, choose between surrender or survival at any cost, and prepare to make his final stand... There is nothing as dangerous as a predator who has been cornered and has nothing left to lose. The stunning finale to the new epic trilogy that uncovers the secret history of the Psi Corps.

Greg Keyes

Greg Keyes

Greg Keyes doesn’t just write fantasy—he builds mythologies that feel like they’ve existed for centuries. His worlds are intricate, his characters fierce with purpose, and his stories hum with the tension between ancient forces and deeply human choices. Whether he’s delving into dynastic battles in The Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone or breathing new life into beloved universes like Star Wars or The Elder Scrolls, Keyes brings a scholar’s mind and a storyteller’s soul to every page.

Born in Mississippi in 1963, Keyes grew up surrounded by the rhythms of Southern storytelling, a background that subtly echoes in the cadence of his prose. He studied anthropology and history—two disciplines that shaped his understanding of myth, culture, and the unspoken rules that govern societies, both real and imagined. This depth of knowledge bleeds into his fiction, grounding even the most fantastical elements in a sense of believable tradition and lived-in history.

His breakout series, The Briar King and its sequels, offers more than swordplay and sorcery—it wrestles with prophecy, politics, and the ghosts of a past that refuses to stay buried. Keyes crafts stories where magic has consequences and where ancient legends collide with fragile mortal ambition. His characters are rarely chosen heroes, but rather complex figures forced to grow into their roles amid crumbling empires and rising darkness.

Alongside his original work, Keyes has written extensively in shared universes, including the Babylon 5, Star Wars, and Planet of the Apes franchises, as well as The Elder Scrolls novels The Infernal City and Lord of Souls. These tie-in works aren’t mere adaptations—they’re textured expansions, handled with respect for the original lore and a creative spark that makes them resonate with fans and newcomers alike.

A lesser-known detail? Keyes once trained in fencing and capoeira, a Brazilian martial art blending dance and combat—both disciplines that mirror the grace and grit of his fight scenes. This physical awareness lends a visceral quality to his action, where battles are felt not just seen.

Today, Greg Keyes remains a steady and inventive presence in the fantasy landscape—a writer who doesn’t chase trends, but quietly shapes the genre through layered narratives, sharp worldbuilding, and a deep understanding of how myths are made. His books invite readers not just to escape, but to immerse, to question, and to journey into the heart of the story.
