Book two in David Weber and Richard Fox\u2019s Ascent to Empire series.<\/p>\n

HE NEVER WANTED TO BE A REBEL<\/p>\n

The Five Hundred, the elite families who rule the Terran Federation, control its political power and its wealth, and they\u2019ve grown steadily wealthier and more powerful, thanks to the war against the Terran League. War may be hard on the people who get caught in its path, but it\u2019s very good for business, in the short term, and the Five Hundred own the shipyards that build the Navy\u2019s ships. They own virtually all the industry that produces the weapons and mat\u00e9riel the war consumes so voraciously . . . and they\u2019ve made damn sure someone else does the dying.<\/p>\n

True, there are a few flies in the Five Hundred\u2019s ointment.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the growing hatred and resentment of the Fringe Worlds, whose children do eighty percent of the dying in the Five Hundred\u2019s war. But the Five Hundred have made sure the Fringe knows what will happen to any system that goes \u201dout of compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are the lunatic conspiracy nuts who insist that the alien Rishathan Sphere is secretly aiding the League\u2019s military, but the Five Hundred have forced them to keep their mouths shut where it matters.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s Terrence Murphy, a man of honor who loves the Federation, who springs from the Five Hundred, yet knows it for what it is and is determined to speak for its victims. But the five hundred have dispatched ample force to deal with him and his handful of lunatic followers.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the Fringe has paid enough of its children\u2019s lives, and it no longer cares what may happen if it dares to defy the Five Hundred.<\/p>\n

Worse, the lunatic conspiracy nuts were right, and the Rish have planned carefully for the Federation\u2019s destruction.<\/p>\n

And, worst of all, the Five Hundred have fatally underestimated Terrence Murphy.<\/p>\n

Praise for Governor:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe authors pack the story with both the specs of far-future fighting machines . . . and the hypercompetent, duty-driven warriors who crew them. Fans of old-school military sci-fi should check this out.\u201d \u2014Publishers Weekly<\/p>\n

Praise for The Gordian Protocol:<\/p>\n

\u201cTom Clancy-esque exposition of technical details . . . absurd humor and bloody action. Echoes of Robert Heinlein . . . lots of exploding temporal spaceships and bodies . . . action-packed . . .\u201d \u2014Booklist<\/p>\n

\u201c. . . a fun and thrilling standalone from Weber and Holo. . . . Time travel enthusiasts will enjoy the moral dilemmas, nonstop action, and crisp writing.\u201d \u2014Publishers Weekly<\/p>\n

Praise for David Weber:<\/p>\n

\u201c. . . a balanced mix of interstellar intrigue, counterespionage, and epic fleet action . . . with all the hard- and software details and tactical proficiency that Weber delivers like no one else; along with a large cast of well-developed, believable characters, giving each clash of fleets emotional weight.\u201d \u2014Booklist<\/p>\n

\u201c. . . moves . . . as inexorably as the Star Kingdom\u2019s Grand Fleet, commanded by series protagonist Honor Harrington. . . . Weber is the Tom Clancy of science fiction. . . . His fans will relish this latest installment. . . .\u201d \u2014Publishers Weekly<\/p>\n

\u201cThis entry is just as exciting as Weber\u2019s initial offering. . . . The result is a fast-paced and action-packed story that follows [our characters] as they move from reaction to command of the situation. Weber builds Shadow of Freedom to an exciting and unexpected climax.\u201d \u2014The Galveston County Daily News<\/p>\n
