Fleet Elements. Dread Empire’s Fall No. 5. Harper Voyager, 2020. The multispecies civil war following the demise of the Shaa overlords continues. Should the Praxis empire be rebuilt or replaced? What role should be played by the large space navies the war has produced? Our protagonists are once again in space, this time serving on the same ship. Predictably, their on-again-off-again romance is on for a while. Forces that could destroy their lives lurk just off stage. This novel is not where one should start this series, but if you have read the earlier novels, you will welcome this latest installment. no reviews | add a review

"Space opera the way it ought to be . . . Bujold and Weber, bend the knee; interstellar adventure has a new king, and his name is Walter Jon Williams."--George R. R. Martin Following The Accidental War, the second book of a brand-new series set in the Praxis--an epic mix of space opera and military science fiction, from a grand master of science fiction, Walter Jon Williams. The Praxis, the empire of now extinct Shaa, has again fallen into civil war, with desperate and outnumbered humans battling several alien species for survival. Leading the human forces are star-crossed lovers Gareth Martinez and Caroline Sula, who must find a way to overcome their own thorny personal history to defeat the aliens and assure humanity's survival. But even if the human fleet is victorious, the divisions fracturing the empire may be too wide to repair, as battles between politicians, the military, and fanatics who want to kill every alien threaten to further tear the empire apart. While Martinez and Sula believe they have the talent and tactics to defeat an overwhelming enemy, what will prevent their fellow humans from destroying themselves? No library descriptions found. |
