On the oppressed frontier world of Prince Samual, dreams of independence from the Second Empire of Man hinge on a desperate gamble. In Jerry Pournelle's gripping military science fiction adventure, Colonel Nathan MacKinnie must lead a covert mission to the primitive planet Makassar, where crucial lost knowledge—the secrets to interstellar travel, guarded by Temple priests as holy relics—is humanity's only hope. Battling Imperial agents, local warlords, and the harsh realities of a forgotten colony world, MacKinnie and his loyal troops must seize the blueprints of forgotten technology left by Old Earth's settlers. Only then can they return home and undertake the monumental task of building the vessel that can secure their freedom: King David's Spaceship.
