Panini Seven capitulations

In a future where travel around the world is almost instantaneous, where all needs are easily satisfied and where no one can remember a real war, a long era of stability threatens to come to an abrupt end. Few know that the leaders of the great Hives have long since agreed to ensure the stability of the world at the cost of some blood. A few mathematically precisely planned murders ensure that no faction can ever gain the upper hand and that the fragile balance is maintained. But it is precisely this that is now beginning to falter. M
ycroft Canner, sentenced to wander the globe in the service of all the Hives, knows more about this conspiracy than he can ever admit.
