As for his father, it is forbidden even to mention his name at Court. Prince Roger MacClintock is a disappointment to himself as well as to the rest of the Imperial family, including his mother the Empress. This collaboration of two of the most prominent military science fiction writers is enough to make fans drool before they even start reading, and a sequel is already on the way.
If anyone can get him off Marduk alive, it's the Bronze Barbarians.March Upcountry by David Weber & John Ringo Now all Roger has to do is hike halfway around the entire planet, then capture a spaceport from the Bad Guys, somehow commandeer a starship, and then go home to Mother for explanations.įortunately, Roger has an ace in the hole: Bravo Company of Bronze Battalion of The Empress's Own Regiment. Then Roger found himself shipwrecked on the planet Marduk, whose jungles were full of damnbeasts, killerpillars, carnivorous plants, torrential rain, and barbarian hordes with really bad dispositions. Then warships of the Empire of Man's worst rivals shot the crippled vessel out of space. After all, what else did he have to do with his life.īut that was before a saboteur tried to blow up his transport. It probably wasn't too surprising that someone in his position should react by becoming spoiled, self-centered, and petulant. Why wouldn't even his own mother, the Empress, explain why they didn't trust him Or why the very mention of his father's name was forbidden at Court Or why his mother had decided to pack him off to a backwater planet aboard what was little more than a tramp freighter to represent her at a local political event better suited to a third assistant undersecretary of state. so why wouldn't anyone at Court trust him. He was young, handsome, athletic, an excellent dresser, and third in line for the Throne of Man. Roger Ramius Sergei Chiang MacClintock didn't understand.
