Atlantis, the world of energet-killers, in the ring of Ecumene squadrons. The Council of the Galactic League is arguing until they are hoarse: what to do with the stubborn Heron Island? The three solutions—quarantine, extermination, and forced technologization—have their pros and cons. The fate of an entire race is at stake. Rear Admiral Van der Weyden will carry out any order: he will tear Astlantis to pieces, land troops on the planet, or stand as an armored cordon on the borders of the system. In the midst of a dispute, Chief Centurion Mark Thumidus arrives on Tishri, the planet where the League Council is based. Everything is brand new, brand new: eye, rank, order, goals and means. Only the wolfish nature of the Pompilian remained the same. However, the purity of the young officer’s race has been in doubt for some time now... “The Leader” is the third and final book of G. L. Oldie’s novel “The Savages of the Ecumene.” This is the long-awaited continuation of the cycle begun by the novels “Ecumene” and “To the City and the World.” The heroes of previous epics were the artist Luciano Borgotta and the doctor Regina van Frassen. The hero of "Savages of the Ecumene" is soldier Mark Kai Thumidus. One might say, a professional hero. Book trailer.
