Les Pionniers du chaos

by Norman Spinrad

First published 1975

Fifty men stand ready to sacrifice their lives for a single devastating blow against the Hegemony. The mission will decapitate the Order in one strike, but the conspirators know the price. Death awaits them all. Yet they press forward, driven by the belief that their sacrifice serves a greater cause. The question remains whether their actions will benefit the Democratic League or fall into the hands of the Brotherhood of Assassins. The answer matters less than the deed itself. These fifty revolutionaries embrace their role as agents of upheaval, willing to die to shatter the existing power structure. Their mission will either birth a new democratic order or unleash something far more dangerous. In this deadly gamble, they become the architects of chaos itself.
