Beginning a new series from a military science fiction expert with over three million catalogs in print. A hero comes old in the crucible of warfare and galactic have difficulties. When Allen Allenson, scion of a commendable family that has fallen on crisis, gets a quest to roust the power-hungry Terrans from a "wild" superstar sector where they're encroaching, he jumps at the chance to show his individual value, improve his family's fortunes - and gather enough lucre to make a good marriage. But the wily Terrans aren't so easily persuaded by a young colonial they think of as a "rube". Worse, "Riders" - the beings who obviously ply the wilderness between your stars, are playing their own lethal political game titles - up against the Terrans, up against the colonials, and against one young greenhorn commander specifically: naf young Allen, whom they amount they can change to do their bidding. The thing nobody has counted on is the fact that Allen, while young and inexperienced, is undoubtedly a hero in the making - much to his own amazement. Vietnam veteran, previous lawyer, previous bus driver, and now best-selling author, David Drake says a military report like no other.
