Councilor / L. E. Modesitt, Jr.

Summary:

"L. E. Modesitt, Jr. continues a brand-new, gaslamp political fantasy--the Grand Illusion. Continued poor harvests and steam-powered industrialization displace and impoverish thousands. Protests grow and gather followers. Against this rising tide of social unrest, Steffan Dekkard, newly appointed to the Council of Sixty-Six, is the first Councilor who is an isolate, a man invulnerable to the emotional manipulations and emotional surveillance of empaths. This makes him dangerous. As unknown entities seek to assassinate him, Dekkard struggles to master political intrigue and infighting, while introducing radical reforms that threaten entrenched political and corporate interests. It's all about to blow." --Provided by publisher.
