<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In the hotly anticpaited sixth volume in the "New York Times"-bestselling Safehold series, the wars and intrigues that have cascaded from Charis' declaration of independence has caused the populous Republic of Siddermark to slide into chaos. Bursting with vivid invention and the sweep of lived history, this story will build its series' audience to a new level.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>David Weber's <i>New York Times </i>bestselling Safehold series of military Science Fiction adventure, which began with <i>Off Armageddon Reef, </i>continues with <i>Midst Toil and Tribulation</i></p><p>WAR AND FAMINE</p><p>Once the Church of God Awaiting dominated all the kingdoms of Safehold. Then, after centuries of stasis, the island kingdom of Charis began to defy the edicts of Mother Church--egged on, some say, by the mysterious warrior-monk Merlin Athrawes, who enjoys the Charisian royal family's absolute trust.</p><p>What vanishingly few people know is that Merlin is the cybernetic avatar of a young woman a thousand years dead, felled in the war in which aliens destroyed Earth...and that since awakening, his task has been to restart the history of the long-hidden human race.</p><p>Now, reeling from the wars and intrigues that have cascaded from Charis's declaration of independence, the Republic of Siddermark slides into chaos. The Church has engineered a rebellion, and Siddermark's all-important harvest is at risk. King Cayleb and Queen Sharleyan struggle to stabilize their ally, which will mean sending troops--but, even more importantly, preventing famine. For mass starvation in Safehold's breadbasket is a threat even more ominous than civil war...</p><p><b>Safehold Series</b><br>1.<i> Off Armageddon Reef</i> <br>2. <i>By Schism Rent Asunder</i> <br>3.<i> By Heresies Distressed</i> <br>4. <i>A Mighty Fortress</i> <br>5. <i>How Firm A Foundation</i> <br><b>6.<i> Midst Toil and Tribulation</i> </b><br>7.<i> Like A Mighty Army</i> <br>8.<i> Hell's Foundations Quiver</i> <br>9.<i> At the Sign of Triumph</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Superb!" --<i>Booklist, starred review, on By Schism Rent Asunder</i></p><p>"A brillant new saga...
