Isabelle Steiger has crafted a powerful and masterful debut with The Empire's Ghost, the first book in a haunting new epic fantasy series.

The empire of Elesthene once spanned a continent, but its rise heralded the death of magic. It tore itself apart from within, leaving behind a patchwork of kingdoms struggling to rebuild.

But when a new dictator, the ambitious and enigmatic Imperator Elgar, seizes power in the old capital and seeks to recreate the lost empire anew, the other kingdoms have little hope of stopping him. Prince Kelken of Reglay finds himself at odds with his father at his country's darkest hour; the marquise of Esthrades is unmatched in politics and strategy, but she sits at a staggering military disadvantage. And Issamira, the most powerful of the free countries, has shut itself off from the conflict, thrown into confusion by the disappearance of its crown prince and the ensuing struggle for succession.

Everything seems aligned in Elgar's favor, but when he presses a band of insignificant but skilled alley-dwellers into his service for a mission of greatest secrecy, they find an unexpected opportunity to alter the balance of power in the war. Through their actions and those of the remaining royals, they may uncover not just a way to defeat Elgar, but also a deeper truth about their world's lost history.

Great book on Android malware reverse engineering and detection!
Format: Paperback
This book offers a holistic approach for learning how to deal with malware targeting Android platform. I find this book to be equally interesting to read for both people with little experience in the domain of malware analysis as quick-start guide as well as for experienced reverse engineers who would want to translate their knowledge from malware analysis in other platforms to Android. This book is definitely worth the time reading it. The first half of the book is a great source of information on reverse engineering Android malware. Chapters on categories of Android Malware and examples of the malware in the wild set up the necessary context for the readers and help to better understand why Android malware focuses on certain infection/monetization techniques. It also bring context in the evolution of mitigation and hardening in Android platform. Chapters on static and dynamic analysis are very practical and engaging to read which I probably enjoyed the most in the book. They teach readers how to do reverse engineering of Android malware -- covers tooling, methodologies, hints to look for in the code or binary artifacts when doing reverse engineering. The second half of the book is dedicated to using machine learning techniques for detecting malware. It starts with a concise yet self-contained necessary theoretical background. In my point of view the authors hit a very good balance for making material accurate and comprehensive yet easy to read and follow along for people without extensive background in the field (which is not a trivial thing for math texts). As it is probably impossible to fit all the necessary theoretical material in a single (or even couple of chapters) they text offers references to sources which cover certain topics in-depth -- for those readers who would like to dive deeper in machine learning. Finally, the book wraps with application of the discussed machine learning techniques to certain malware families.
