Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Celadon, a poor nation on a poor planet, engaged in civil war and a haven for every type of villainy in space, is ripe for cleanup. The military could pacify it handily, but it would take a statesman to fix it. But some statesmen have ethics, which politicians and megacorps find inconvenient. President Bishwanath compounded the sin by being astute, ambitious and capable. Something had to be done, because a working nation isn't much use for pork and graft. When the word comes down that he is dead, the politicians move on with a new plan, re-allocating resources, and finding a new, more pliable president to put in place. There are three problems with this solution. Bishwanath is not dead. His mercenary bodyguards are more loyal than the politicians. And if they're not on contract, there are no rules. Synopsis:They were the toughest, deadliest mercenaries in their corner of the galaxy--and reports of their leader's death had been greatly exaggerated. With its military action and alien cultures, this novel will appeal to fans of John Ringo, David Drake, and David Weber.--"Booklist." About the AuthorMichael Z.
