A CoDominium Military Sci-Fi Novel of Imperial Conquest, Feudal Battles, and Lost Technology

On the recently re-contacted frontier planet Prince Samual's World, local leaders face annexation by the Second Empire of Man unless they can prove native spacefaring capability. To secure political independence, former officer Colonel Nathan MacKinnie is tasked with leading a covert military expedition to Makassar, a primitive, war-torn world holding ancient Imperial technical archives.

Disguising his military unit as a merchant trading company, MacKinnie must navigate medieval siege warfare, local warlords, and hostile planetary environments. Racing against Imperial navy observers, MacKinnie's team must secure the technological blueprints needed to build an indigenously crafted starship.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Jerry Pournelle delivers a classic CoDominium military science fiction adventure blending planetary tactics with political intrigue. Essential reading for fans of David Drake, Poul Anderson, and H. Beam Piper.
