Product Description
Sten's luck was finally running out.
He had barely scraped through Imperial flight school when he was assigned a tacdivision in the Fringe Worlds, where the Imperial officers were more concerned with the perfect fit of their dress whites than with honing their fighting skills.
The enemy Tahn couldn't have picked a better time or place to launch their long-planned attack against the Empire. Sten and his men were outgunned, outmanned, and outfought -- and no reinforcements could be expected from the besieged Eternal Emperor.
It looked like Sten's number was up. But if he had to go, he didn't intend to go alone...

If you are familiar with the Sten series of Novels then I can recommend this one. Continuing the story Sten is involved in a now familar tangle of intrigue and extreme violence whose pace makes this a difficult book to put down.
If you've just started reading this series, try to read it in sequence otherwise it won't make as much sense.
If you've not read a Sten book before but enjoy Space Opera, galaxy spanning empire and fast paced action, then I recommend the series, but start at the beginning with Sten.
Relies a lot on knowledge of the previous books.
Format:Paperback
Good reliable thud & blunder amongst the stars. Bunch and Cole continue doing what they do best, adapting their experiences of land and marine warfare to a far-flung future and a multi-galactic empire. Trust me, you will suspend disbelief as you rip through this page-turner. Admiral (no less!) Sten gets given his hardest task yet. So hard, in fact, that it takes 2 volumes to tell the tale. But hey, if you've got this far through the series, you'll know what you're getting and yes, sadly, that does include clottin' Laird Alex Kilgour doing things to the Scottish accent that shouldn't be done to a rabid dog!
All in all though, well worth a read.

One of the greatest hero epics in sci-fi.
10 Jun 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
For those of you who enjoy brilliant character development, intense action sequences and adventurous story telling, look no further than the Sten series. Authors Allan Cole and Chris Bunch transport you to a future where man travels the depths of space with ease, the human Empire spans thousands of light years, and mankind has mastered the ultimate power source: AM2. The Eternal Emperor finds his realm beset by adversaries who seek to gain control of the Imperial AM2 supply. With enemy plots threatening to destroy his empire, the Eternal Emperor turns to Sten and Alex Kilgour to help in the Empire's struggle against the powerful and ruthless Tahn invasion fleet. This novel renders amazing space battle scenes, defines courage and valor in the face of overwhelming odds, and is an excellent chapter in the Sten series. Having read hundreds of titles in my life, the Sten series ranks as one of my favorites of all time and I highly recommend it.

i like the old covers the best.. when the publisher goes to the trouble of re-printing a title, you'd think they'd at least stick with the same cover concept that made the original famous.. but noooooo..
cole and bunch are/were a SOLID team. they wrote eight VERY good books for the sten series, and, in my time, the sten series is one of the best i've read.
