Product Description
Product Description
As Chief Medical Officer aboard the Jurisdiction Fleet Ship Ragnarok, Andrej Koscuisko's duty is to care for his shipmates; as Inquisitor, he must extract confessions and administer punishment. But while the doctor takes pride in his healing skills, the torturer knows only self-loathing. As the planet Burkhayden prepares for the arrival of its new governor, a brutal attack on a Nurail slave woman by a ship's officer sets in motion a chain of events that culminates in murder, Called upon to minister to the injured woman, Andrei is soon pressed into duty as Inquisitor after a prime suspect is taken into custody for the murder. In this minefield of intrigue and deception, where a single misstep means death, Andrej's precarious equilibrium will be strained to the breaking point -- and beyond.

When I read "Prisoner of Conscience" I was absolutely blown away. Why did I Find this character and this universe so compelling? These people are brutal, and the descriptions of their brutality are graphic! I should be repulsed by this stuff! But I could not tear myself away and look forward eagerly to each new installment. "Hour of Judgement"is a marvelous addition to this series. I don't want to live in this universe, and I'm still not sure if I even like Andrej Kosciusko. But I sure enjoy my visits. When is the next one due out anyway?!
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the first book by Matthews I have read and it blew my mind. At times you both hate and feel sorry for Andrej. I shows the dual nautre of humanity> As the Inquisitor, Andrej is the dark side of human nature. And as the Doctor he is the one who gives us hope. I can't wait for her new novel.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I think of this book as a sidenote to an Exchange of Hostages. I enjoyed it, but I felt as if '...Hostages' had more depth. I can't wait to read the next one...
