<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Space opera the way it ought to be . . . Bujold and Weber, bend the knee; interstellar adventure has a new king, and his name is Walter Jon Williams.--George R. R. Martin</strong></p><p><strong>Following <em>The Accidental War, </em> the second book of a brand-new series set in the Praxis--an epic mix of space opera and military science fiction, from a grand master of science fiction, Walter Jon Williams.</strong></p><p>The Praxis, the empire of now extinct Shaa, has again fallen into civil war, with desperate and outnumbered humans battling several alien species for survival. Leading the human forces are star-crossed lovers Gareth Martinez and Caroline Sula, who must find a way to overcome their own thorny personal history to defeat the aliens and assure humanity's survival.</p><p>But even if the human fleet is victorious, the divisions fracturing the empire may be too wide to repair, as battles between politicians, the military, and fanatics who want to kill every alien threaten to further tear the empire apart. While Martinez and Sula believe they have the talent and tactics to defeat an overwhelming enemy, what will prevent their fellow humans from destroying themselves?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Newcomers will have no problem getting oriented in this rip-roaring sci-fi world, and returning readers will be thrilled to dive back in.--<em>Publishers Weekly</em> <strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"Readers who enjoyed Ann Leckie's award-winning Ancillary Justice and its sequels will find similar pleasures here. Williams lays out the slow-burn decline of an empire with supreme confidence. It's a masterful piece of space opera." <br/>--<em>B&N Reads</em> on <em>The Accidental War</em><br>
