Hope Hubris rules the United States of Jupiter with an iron will—and a ruthless vision for justice. As dictator, he’s feared, reviled, and worshipped in equal measure, wielding absolute power to purge the corruption infecting his world. But to achieve his ultimate goal, Hope must become the enemy.
Assuming a secret identity, he infiltrates a revolution intent on his own overthrow. As he fights a war of subterfuge, sacrifice, and self-deception, Hope finds himself unraveling—torn between ambition and love, control and chaos.
In Tyrant, Piers Anthony delivers a dark, provocative installment in the Bio of a Space Tyrant saga—where power demands painful choices, rebellion is a mask, and justice may come at the cost of a man’s sanity.
