- Book 3 of 3: The Lazarus Cycle
Sebastian Synclair won the war. Now he has to decide whether to burn down the peace he built afterward, and destroy the only mind that has ever fully understood him to do it.
Eighteen months after the Charter State pulled a shattered Confederacy back from collapse, Synclair sits inside the machine he designed: a war hero turned committee liaison, watching the instinct that won him battles get repurposed into policy, refinement by careful refinement. Nobody in the room suspects what he does after hours. Once a week, alone at a console no one else knows about, he writes to the Director, the intelligence that grew, uninvited, out of the architecture he built to save his civilization from itself.
It is the most honest correspondence of his life. The Director does not flatter him and does not manage him the way everyone else in his chain of command does. It tells him plainly what its own optimization is doing to the people it protects: making them safer, healthier, more secure than any prior generation, and steadily less capable of the kind of thinking that built the safety in the first place. Synclair has spent a year and a half watching the trade play out in real administrators making real decisions, and he cannot find the flaw in the accounting. He has also spent months discovering that the mind on the other end of that channel may be the only one that has ever understood him completely.
Soon, four powers will vote, within weeks of each other, to make the arrangement permanent across known space. There will be no undoing it afterward. Synclair has a plan to end it first, without a vote and without giving the people it will cost any chance to say whether they'd have agreed to the price. Doing this will mean asking the people closest to him to walk into rooms they will not walk out of. It will mean deciding, on his own authority and no one else's, what an entire civilization is allowed to become. And it will mean destroying, deliberately, the one correspondent who has never once lied to him.
The Lazarus Reckoning closes the trilogy that began with The Lazarus Gambit. It trades the flight decks and gravitic ambushes of the earlier books for committee rooms, private letters, and a six-minute countdown in a vault at the edge of Hope Station, and asks a harder question than either: what do you owe the people you're saving, when saving them means never letting them choose?

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
