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. 1441696 2005 The Children of the Company (The Company, #6) total:227|5:40|4:94|3:72|2:18|1:3| 227 831 288 17 2 5 false false Mon Oct 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 11:00:14 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 16:45:11 -0700 2009 The Children of the Company was--ok.
