Plot (spoilers: moderate)
The only novel that seriously poses the question: are the Alpha Legion traitors at all? The Cabal, John Grammaticus, the false bottom of the XX. On the map, after “Legion”, the XX’s arrows cannot be read as the XVI’s arrows: this is a different kind of war. The canon of the twins’ motives remains disputed.
