Conventions of War (Dread Empire's Fall) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The universe has fallen into bloody chaos now that the dread empire of the tyrannical Shaa is no more — at the mercy of the merciless insectoid Naxid, who now hunger for domination. But the far-flung human descendants of Terra have finally tasted liberty, and their warrior heroes will not submit. Separated by light-years, Lord Gareth Martinez and the mysterious guerrilla fighter Caroline Sula each pursue a different road to victory in tomorrow's ultimate battle — for the new order will be far more terrible than the old...unless one last, desperate stratagem can hold a shattered galaxy together.

Synopsis:

Ini the dramatic conclusion to the Dread Empire's Falls series, two troubled warriors working on opposite sides of the galaxy — one in deep space, the other undercover on an unoccupied planet — fight to save their Empire from the vicious, alien enemy. Original.
