Final Reckoning: The Fate of Bester

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. Copyright 1999 by J. Gregory Keyes. Published by Ballantine Books.
