1. An Exchange of Hostages
A promising young surgeon, Andrej Koscuisko has come, with great reluctance, to study at a military orientation center adrift in black space. Against his will, he will train here to serve as a "Ship’s Inquisitor" — a vocation that runs counter to his deepest moral convictions.
During his tenure, Andrej will earn the devotion of his personal slave. He will gain the grudging respect of the Station Administration. He will make a deadly enemy of his fellow student. He will learn a frightening truth about himself. And ultimately, he will be forced to sacrifice all that he holds dear…
2. Prisoner of Conscience
Andrei Koscuisko is an Inquisitor for the Bench federation of worlds. It is his duty to root out — quickly, efficiently, quietly — anyone who would threaten the ruling order.
Andrei has been posted to the penal facility at Port Rudistal. Here hundreds of prisoners — traitors who dared dream of freedom and self-rule — await interrogation. They know an Inquisitor’s judgment is firm and unassailable. Yet there is a line that even he may not cross.
Although an Inquisitor is not supposed to feel outrage, weakness or pity, Andrei is, above all, a man of honor. And now he must risk his career — and perhaps his life — exposing the truth that lies behind the black walls of Domitt Prison.
3. Hour of Judgment
As Chief Medical Officer aboard the Jurisdiction Fleet Ship "Ragnarok, Andrei Koscuisko’s duty is to care for his shipmates; as Inquisitor, to extract confessions and administer punishment. But while the doctor takes pride in his healing skills, the torturer knows only guilt and self-loathing. For years, Andrei has walked the razor’s edge, struggling to hold the two sides of his nature apart — and himself together.
As the "Ragnarok’s crew readies the planet Burkhayden for the arrival of its new governor, the brutal attack on a Nurail slave woman by a ship’s officer sets in motion a chain of events that culminates in murder. Summoned at first to minister to the injured woman, Andrei is soon pressed into duty as Inquisitor of the prime murder suspect: a gentle and unassuming Nurail gardener who had both motive and means to avenge his kinswoman. But Andrei is surrounded by powerful enemies, including two intelligence specialists who take a most unwelcome interest in his private affairs. In this minefield of intrigue and deception, where a single misstep means death, Andrei’s always precarious equilibrium will be strained to the breaking point — and beyond.
At once a rousing military adventure, a murder mystery, and a sophisticated portrait of one man’s struggle to survive in a culture where duty and honor are irreconcilable, "Hour of Judgment confirms the arrival of Susan R. Matthews as a major SF talent.

6. Warring States
The Ragnarok’s legal status has been ambiguous since it shot its way out of Taisheki Station to escape a threat against the lives of its innocent crew. Ship’s Inquisitor Andrej Koscuisko hopes to take advantage of this period of chaos and unrest to see his bond-involuntary Security slaves somehow freed and sent to Gonebeyond space. The personal conflict he is experiencing has surprised and distressed him, and yet he cannot afford to let his private agonies interfere with his purpose. But an incident that happened years ago in a dark cold street in Port Rudistal – the site of the Domitt Prison – has bound Koscuisko to a man who, all unknowingly, holds the key to a murder that’s changed the course of history. More alone than he has ever been in his life, Andrej must face the deadliest threat he has ever encountered – the unknown enemy who murdered the First Secretary at Chilleau Judiciary, and set all of Jurisdiction Space into anarchy and horror.
