The Nightwyrm's Resurgence continues in the second book of the series that follows the events of The Grandmaster's Gamble.

Norman has managed to evade the murder investigation threatening his career through the use of cunning, deceit and technical acumen. However, he now faces the galactic Imperator's direct scrutiny.

As the deadline for his annual dissertation looms ahead, Norman has many other sources of complications in his life - not the least of which is the ancient parasite he has unleashed upon the world. The Helicon rebel group, the Ortimus conglomerate and the Kaiyaathian empire all race against time to seek out the Wyrm for their own ambition, but are the Wyrm's own aspirations compatible with any of theirs? How will the galactic power balance shift when the stack of lies and deceptions inevitably topples?

As secrets buried eons ago resurface, Irathor will have to once again defend not just humanity, but the very concept of individuality. In this race, who will emerge as the God King's champion?
