THE EPIC FIGHT FOR INDEPENDENCE ON OUR MOON HAS BEGUN!
The Lunar colony is a mining colony with only internal security capabilities. Nobody had even considered that there might soon arise a need to defend the colony from the Earth! But that day has come. Something has been uncovered on the Moon. Something important. Something . . . alien.
The Lunar colonists perceive this great discovery as their own. Finders keepers and possession being nine-tenths of the law is how things are on the Moon. But as far asthe governments of the Earth areconcerned, they paid for everything on the Moon, so it belongs to them.
There is only one solution: turn Luna into a battlefield!
About Travis S. Taylor:
[E]xplodes with inventive action.Publishers Weeklyon Travis S. TaylorsThe Quantum Connection
[Warp Speed] reads like Doc Smith writing Robert Ludlum . . . You wont want to put it down.John Ringo
About Timothy Zahn:
Zahn keeps the story moving at a breakneck pace, maintaining excitement.Publishers Weekly
[Y]ou can count on Timothy Zahn for three things: clean, sparse prose; good pacing; and great action scenes. The first book in the Cobra War series hits all those marks in admirable style and makes for a quick, entertaining sci-fi novel.Blogcritics
[Conquerors Heritage] is another finely wrought space adventure . . . [with] social, political and emotional complications, all of which Zahn treats with his usual skill.Booklist
Zahn paints every detail [inAngelmass] with gleamy realism . . . scientific dialogue that streams with starship hardware and military trooper talk . . . immensely appealing.Kirkus Review
About Michael Z. Williamson:
A fast-paced, compulsive read . . .will appeal to fans of John Ringo, David Drake, Lois McMaster Bujold, and David Weber.Kliatt
Williamson's military expertise is impressive.SF Reviews
