Empire Of Man

Author: David Weber

David Drake and John Ringo are two of the most beloved authors you’ll find in the world of military science fiction. In Empire of Man, they’re working with some wonderful classic concepts, but giving them a spit-polish that turns them into something new, exciting, and just plain old-fashioned fun. Like many of the military science fiction novel series of the early 2000s, we’re given a spoiled-rotten royal being forced to interact with the rank and file of the military, in this case, Prince Roger Ramius Sergei Alexander Chiang McClintock finds himself in an adventure following an attempted saboteur attack. That leads to more starfarring action than you can shake a stick at! The collaboration between Ringo and Drake, two of the most beloved authors of science fiction and fantasy you’ll find today, brings out the best in the both them. Incredibly smart and bright prose, mingling with to the point action plotting and characterization. The resulting series of stories manages to keep the energy up all the way through, but never fall into the pat sequel trap. Why it’s on the list Two fantastic authors writing super-fun prose that just goes and goes!
