Prince Roger maintained his habitual, slightly bored smile as he padded through the door, then stopped and glanced around the room as he shot the cuffs of his shirt and adjusted his cravat. Both were made from Diablo spider-silk, the softest and sleekest material in the galaxy. Since it was protected by giant, acid-spitting spiders, it was also the most expensive. For his part, Amos Stephens paid as little attention as possible to the young fop he had so grandly announced. The child was a disgrace to the honorable name of his mother's family. The cravat was bad enough, and the brightly patterned brocade jacket, more appropriate for a bordello than a meeting with the Empress of Man, was worse. But the hair! Stephens had served twenty years in Her Majesty's Navy before entering the Palace Service Corps. The only difference between his years in the Navy and his years in the Palace was the way his close- cropped curls had shifted from midnight black to silver. The mere sight of the butt-length golden hair of the farcical dandy Empress Alexandra's younger son had become always drove the old butler absolutely mad. The Empress' office was remarkably small and spare, with a broad desk no larger than that of a middle-level manager in any of the star-spanning corporations of Earth. The appointments were simple but elegant; the chairs sensible, but elaborately hand-crafted and covered in exquisite hand-stitching. Most of the pictures were old master originals. The one exception was the most famous. "The Empress in Waiting" was a painting from life of Miranda MacClintock during the "Dagger Years," and the artist, Trachsler, had captured his subject perfectly. Her eyes were open and smiling, showing the world the image of an ingenuous Terran subject. A loyal upholder of the Dagger Lords. In other words, a filthy collaborator. But if you stared at the painting long enough, a chill crept over your skin and the eyes slowly changed. To the eyes of a predator. Roger spared the painting one bare glance, then looked away. All of the MacClintocks lived under the shadow of the old biddy, long dead though she was. As the merest—and least satisfactory—slip of that lineage, he had all the shadows he could stand. Alexandra VII, Empress of Man, regarded her youngest child through half-slitted eyes. The carefully metered bite of Stephens' ironic announcement had apparently gone over the prince's head completely. Roger certainly didn't seem affected by the old spacer's disdain in the slightest. Unlike her flamboyant son, Empress Alexandra wore a blue suit of such understated elegance that it must have cost as much as a small starship. Now she leaned back in her float chair and propped her cheek on her hand, wondering for the hundredth time if this was the right decision. But there were a thousand other decisions awaiting her, all of them vital, and she'd spent all the time she intended to on this one. "Mother," Roger said insouciantly, with a micrometric bow, and glanced at his brother in the flanking chair. "To what do I owe the honor of being summoned into two such august presences?" he continued with a slight, knowing smirk. John MacClintock gave his younger brother a thin smile and a nod. The galaxy-renowned diplomat was dressed in a conservative suit of blue worsted, with a practical damask handkerchief poking out of one sleeve. For all that he looked like a doltish banker, his poker face and sleepy eyes hid a mind as insightful as any in the known worlds. And despite the developing paunch of middle-age, he could have become a professional golfer . if the job of Heir Apparent had allowed the time for it. The Empress leaned forward abruptly and fixed her youngest with a laser stare. "Roger, We are sending you off-planet on a 'show the flag' mission." Roger blinked several times, and smoothed his hair. "Yes?" he replied carefully. "The planet Leviathan is celebrating Net-Hauling in two months—" "Oh, my God, Mother!" Roger's exclamation cut the Empress of Man off in mid-sentence. "You must be joking!" "We are not joking, Roger," Alexandra said severely. "Leviathan's primary export may be grumbly oil, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a focal planet in the Sagittarius sector. And there hasn't been a family representative for Net-Hauling in two decades." Since I repudiated your father, she didn't bother to add. "But, Mother! The smell!" the prince protested, shaking his head to toss an errant strand of hair out of his eyes. He knew he was whining and hated it, but the alternative was smelling grumbly oil for at least several weeks on the planet. And even after he escaped Leviathan, it would take several more weeks for Kostas to get the smell out of his clothes. The oil made a remarkable musk base; in fact, it was in the cologne he was wearing at the moment. But in its raw form, it was the most noxious stuff in the galaxy. "We don't care about the smell, Roger," snapped the Empress, "and neither should you! You will show the flag for the dynasty, and you will show Our subjects that We care enough about their reaffirmation of alliance to the Empire to send one of Our children. Is that understood?" The young prince drew himself up to his full hundred ninety-five centimeters and gathered the shreds of his dignity. "Very well, Your Imperial Majesty. I will, of course, do my duty as you see fit. It is my duty, after all, is it not, Your Imperial Majesty? Noblesse oblige and all that?" His aristocratic nostrils flared in suppressed anger. "Now I suppose I have some packing to oversee. By your leave?" Alexandra's steely gaze held him for a few moments more, and then she waggled her fingers in the direction of the door. "Go. Go. And do a good job." The "for a change" was unstated. Prince Roger gave another micrometric bow, turned his back quite deliberately, and stalked out of the room. "You could have handled that better, Mother," John said quietly, after the door had closed on the angry young man. "Yes, I could have." She sighed, steepling her fingers under her chin. "And I should have, damn it. But he looks too much like his father!" "But he isn't his father, Mother," John said quietly. "Unless you create his father in him. Or drive him into New Madrid's camp." "Try to teach me to suck eggs, why don't you?" she snapped, then inhaled deeply and shook her head. "I'm sorry, John. You're right. You're always right." She smiled ruefully at her older son. "I'm just not good at personal, am I?" "You were fine with Alex and me," John replied. "But Roger's carrying a lot of loads. It might be time to cut him some slack." "There isn't any slack to cut! Not now!" "There's some. More than he's gotten in the last several years, anyway.

It isn't great literature, but it is very good at what it does and for the genre. It is like a good popcorn March Upcountry This was an odd book. On one hand, it had a lot of action, March Upcountry was good, and it had some interesting characters whom you could come to enjoy seeing in a series, of which this is the first book. March Upcountry. David WeberJohn Ringo. He was young, handsome, athletic, an excellent dresser, and third in line for the Throne of Man Why wouldn't even his own mother, the Empress, explain why they didn't trust him? Or why the very mention of his March Upcountry name was forbidden at Court? Or why his mother had decided to pack him off to a backwater planet aboard what was little March Upcountry than a tramp freighter to represent March Upcountry at a local political event better suited March Upcountry a third assistant undersecretarv of state? It probably wasn't too surprising that someone in his position should react by becoming spoiled, selfcentered and petulant. After all, what else did he have to do with his life? But that was before a saboteur tried to blow up his transport. Then warships of the Empire of Man's worst rivals shot the crippled vessel out of space.

In his rousin. In his rousing second Honorverse novel after 's Crown of Slavescoauthored with Eric FlintWeber focuses on how each member of a unit contributes to the mission's success through teamwork, discipline and individual initiative. A scratch task force is dispatched to a series of fringe systems that have petitioned to join the Manticoran Space Nation. What is supposed to be a relatively easy assignment to a sector far from the front lines of the renewed Havenite War is soon complicated both by terrorists who oppose the annexation and by corrupt elements of the Solarian League—the major The Shadow of Saganami in Weber's universe—who don't want the stiff- necked Manties sniffing around their highly illegal and lucrative genetic slave trade.

The Gastan also reveals that the Empress has laid the blame for the attempt against the throne on none other than her youngest son, Roger. Worse to be sent off on a meaningless diplomatic mission, simply to get you out from underfoot, with a bodyguard of Marines who loathe and despise you. Roger and his guards continue to fight their way towards the gates, incurring serious casualties in the process, including Cord who is seriously wounded when he interposes himself between Roger and a spear that had been thrown at him. Some parts can be a bit confusing if you aren't paying attention, especially when many different "Tribes" get involved, but it's Military Sci-fi and "Out of the box thinking" at it's best Which is what we expect from both Ringo AND Weber You have to build your relationship with the characters before you care about whether they live or breed, for that matter. He prefers to read and of course write science fiction such as the top-selling military SF series so far comprising A Hymn Before Battle, Gust Front, and When the Devil Dances , raise Arabian horses, dandle his kids and watch the grass grow. You could not find better! With Temu Jin's information and assistance on the inside, Roger, his marines, his Mardukan retainers and Shin warriors manage to storm and take control of the spaceport with few casualties and Pahner personally and with immense satisfaction locates Governor Mountmarch who's found with a naked year-old boy in his quarters and places him under arrest for treason and pedophilia.

Zher AnfangVon Kindle-KundeNach einem zhen Anfang und extrem gewhnungsbedrftigem Stil endet das Buch auf fast gewohntem Niveau.

Eine Fortsetzung vor einer Fortsetzung - trotzdem spannendVon ScimitarFr David Weber noch ausstehend ist die Frage, ob es ihm denn auch gelingen wird, eine seiner Serien zu einem logischen und befriedigenden Ende zu fhren oder ob er in der ewigen Fortsetzung versinkt. Auch wenn dieser Band als Fortsetzung des "Crown of Slaves"-Spin Offs verkauft wird reiht er sich doch nahtlos in die Handlung ein. Das erspart dem Leser auch die stndigen Wechsel des Handlungsortes wie bei der "Nimue Alban"-Serie und auch die Namen kann man sich merken.Zur Handlung (Spoilerfrei): Zumindest auf der Seite von Manticore ist mittlerweile die Existenz des "Alignments" von Mesa bekannt, dazu aber recht wenig Details.

I’ve tried to pull this issue together throughout the week, meaning to get it out quite a bit earlier, but I find myself a whole week late. My apologies. Life got in the way.

I hope those of you out there who can nominate (members of Aussiecon 4 and members of Anticipation) will do so. There’s a lot of great work in the SF world, and it’s always nice when we can honor it.
