Produktbeschreibung
War is coming. Outposts are falling silent, starships are disappearing, and a secret research facility has come under attack. Yet the various agencies of the Imperial Combine have all been slow to react. Tasked with investigating a spiral of dangerous events, special operative Elm Caden has the impression that nobody else is looking in the right place. Trained to meet the demands of his Empress no matter where the evidence might lead, a large part of him has to wonder just how accidental this error actually is. Something is not right out there, on the human-populated arm of the galaxy, and the strangeness of it all is unsettling. While the Imperial Combine embarks on a massive military campaign against the old enemies they believe to be orchestrating events, Caden instead looks outwards to the Deep Shadows, vast areas of unexplored space between the bright spiral arms of the galaxy. And he has the strangest feeling that something truly malevolent is looking right back at him... Acclaimed by readers for its detailed world-building, engaging characters, and fresh, modern feel, this unique debut novel is an immersive and multi-layered story. It slams open the door to a rich, new universe - a universe as vast as it is disturbingly real. Steal from the Devil is the first volume in a six-book story arc, and lays the groundwork for everything that follows. It is best read back-to-back with List of the Dead.
Autorenporträt
R. Curtis Venture was born in the United Kingdom in the late Seventies. His first great passion was for science fiction, both in books and on the screen, and he spent his childhood years imagining other worlds. Originally a graduate of Applied Biology, he is through an unlikely but plausible series of circumstances now employed full-time in the legal sector.

When not consumed with a creative binge, his free time is mostly spent hiking up mountains and through forests, camping in the wilderness, reading widely, or working towards the current milestone of 2,000 films watched.
