Goodreads Synopsis:
“The Golden Brat”
Reinhard von Lohengramm, a military prodigy and admiral of the Galactic
Empire, has ambitions beyond protecting the borders or even defeating
the Empire’s enemies. He seeks to overthrow the old order and become a
truly absolute—yet benevolent—dictator. His rival, the humble Yang
Wen-li of the Free Planets Alliance, wishes to preserve democracy even
if he must sacrifice his political ideals to defeat the Empire. Their
political and military battles play out over a galactic chessboard in an
epic saga fifteen centuries in the making!
Excerpt:
“What sort of
imbecile tries to turn a ship around right in front of enemies that are
snapping at his heels! He has only himself to blame. Yet even so, there’s no
denying this casts a slight pall over the empire’s victory.” (Paperback,
pg. 80)
