The novel “The Castle in Cassiopeia” by Mike Resnick was published for the first time in 2017. It’s the third novel in the Dead Enders series and follows “The Prison in Antares”.

Nathan Pretorius is used to being in charge of the most difficult missions but this time the Dead Enders must carry out a task that seems really impossible. They were the ones who replaced General Michkag with a clone counting on the fact that he would sign a peace treaty between the Democracy and the Traanskei Coalition but the clone decided that he liked his position and is continuing the war with better results than the original.

The Dead Enders must try to kill General Michkag’s clone knowing very well that he knows them and has seen how they work. They have to find out where he’s hiding and get to him knowing that after replacing the original he changed the old defense systems to make them much better. To succeed in their task it’s useful to have new allies.
