Product Description

Product Description

Sten had fought his way up from slave labour on a factory world to commander of the Eternal Emperor's bodyguard, the Imperial Gurkhas. But during his first three months on Prime World, the most dangerous weapons Sten had encountered were the well-phrased lies of Court politicians. It seems no place for an honest fighting man. But when a bomb destroys a local bar, Sten discovers the danger and corruption behind Court intrigue.

4.0 out of 5 stars Its onwards and upwards for Sten, 25 April 2001
By A Customer
After his successful campaign in the Wolf worlds in the last novel, Sten has been promoted to being commander of the Emperor's bodyguards, the Imperial Ghurkas. He leaves behind his "honest" warmongering with Mantis Corps for the bloody intrigue and politics of the Emperor's court of a thousand suns. You can see the storm clouds gathering and where the plot is going from the outset but it does not make the book any the less enjoyable. My only critiscm is that it's a little to easy to spot the new good guy character who has clearly only been introduced to be a casualty in the final battle. This novel is more of the same really : if you liked the earlier Sten books you won't be disappointed by this one. A fast paced and entertaining, if not overly taxing, read.
