About:
The Children of the Company by Kage Baker is the sixth installment in her Company series, focusing on Executive Facilitator General Labienus and his quest for world domination. The book delves into the intricate web of manipulations and schemes orchestrated by Labienus, exploring the power struggles within the immortal Company as the year 2355 approaches, a pivotal moment when the Silence will fall. Despite being praised for its engaging storytelling, vivid descriptions, and historical depth, some readers feel that the book deviates from the main storyline established in previous books, focusing more on side struggles and subplots.
From The Publisher:
Take a ride through time with the devil. In the sixth book of the Company series, we meet Executive Facilitator General Labienus. He's used his immortal centuries to plot a complete takeover of the world since he was a young god-figure in Sumeria. In a meditative mood, he reviews his interesting career. He muses on his subversion of the Company black project ADONAI. He considers also Aegeus, his despised rival for power, who has discovered and captured a useful race of mortals known as Homo sapiens umbratilis. Their unique talents may enable him to seize ultimate power. Labienus plans a double cross that will kill two birds with one stone: he will woo away Aegeus's promising protege, the Facilitator Victor, and at the same time dispose of a ghost from his own past who has become inconvenient. The Hugo-nominated novella "Son Observe The Time," telling that part of the story, is included here in its entirety. Fans of the series will love this book, and new readers will be enthralled.
