An Exchange of Hostages
Under
Jurisdiction torture isn't about truth. It's about terror.
The
Jurisdiction's Bench has come to rely on the institutionalized atrocities of the
Protocols to maintain its control of an increasingly unstable political
environment. When Andrej Koscuisko, a talented young doctor, reports to
orientation as a Ship's Inquisitor he will discover in himself something far
worse than a talent for inflicting grotesque torments on the Bench's enemies. He
will confront a passion for the exercise of the Writ to Inquire, whose intensity
threatens to consume him utterly.
