Beschreibung des Verlags
In Scimitar's Glory, the alien Tong won the Battle for Earth and took control of the orbital space around the planet. Humanity is now at their mercy, but not all Space Force warships have been defeated. Wolfe Koenig's light cruiser, Excalibur, is on a mission to acquire technology that just might enable the ragged remnants of the Fleet to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat—if he can find an alien race with that technology, if he can convince them to trade for it and if the technology can be exploited fast enough. Excalibur's Quest is the story of that mission and the challenges, both alien and human, that Koenig faces.
Kundenrezensionen
Fascinating sci-fi author
Over the dense grill of dry technical details and sparse references to body types, character, relationships and responses to success, failure and defeat, the author leaves room for me to fill in detail, promoting my imagination to collaboration status as I read. The subtleties of astrogation and his passionate discussion of the advantages or weaknesses of a given technology are revealing and thought provoking. His dispassionate willingness to sacrifice main characters in battles where they face overwhelming odds shows a rigorous true to life impartiality, maintaining the tension throughout, even when the story relaxes to the quotidian.
