The second book in Tanya Huff's action-packed military sci-fi adventure Confederation series
Never tell a two-star general what you really think of him....
That was the mistake Staff Sergeant Torin Kerr made with General Morris. But as a battle-hardened professional, she took pride in doing her job and getting her troops back alive. So after she'd saved the mission to bring the Silviss into the Confederation—instead of losing them and their world to the enemy known only as the Others—she let the general know exactly how she felt.
And Torin’s reward—or punishment—was to be separated from her platoon and sent off on what might well prove an even more perilous assignment. She was commandeered to protect a scientific expedition to a newly discovered and seemingly derelict spaceship of truly epic proportions. And Confederation politics had saddled her with a commanding officer who might prove more of a menace to the mission’s success than anything they encountered.
Only time would tell if the ship was what it appeared to be, or a trap created by the Others—or the work of an as-yet unknown alien race with an agenda that could prove all too hostile to other life forms....

Tanya Huff may have left Nova Scotia at three, and has lived most of her life since in Ontario, but she still considers herself a Maritimer. On the way to the idyllic rural existence she shares with her partner Fiona Patton, six cats, and a chihuahua, she acquired a degree in Radio and Television Arts from Ryerson Polytechnic—an education she was happy to finally use while writing her recent Smoke novels. Of her previous twenty-three books, the five—Blood Price, Blood Trail, Blood Lines, Blood Pact, Blood Debt—featuring Henry Fitzroy, bastard son of Henry VIII, romance writer, and vampire are among the most popular. Tanya can be found via Twitter at @TanyaHuff.

Etat : Good. The history of modern Russia traditionally has Communism at its center. In this radical new history, Yuri Felshtinsky and Vladimir Popov show, however, that the real driver from early in the Russian Revolution was the Cheka-Russia's shape-shifting intelligence services. Wrapped in a brutal fight to the death with the Party, it lured Russia into submission from 1918. Over close to a century its murder-plots and unsurpassed scheming culminated in the capture of the Kremlin in 2000 by ex-FSB chief Vladimir Putin. Drawing on Popov's ground-breaking personal work-archives as senior officer in one of the KGB's key secret directorates, and Felshtinsky's encyclopedic knowledge of Russian state archives open in the 1990s, little-known Russian sources, and access to leading oligarchs such as Boris Berezovsky, they cast Russia's modern history in a novel light.From Red Terror to Terrorist State is the first comprehensive history of the Cheka, its vice-like hold over Russia, global reach and ambitions. A monumental record by two exceptional Russian-intelligence experts, it presents an unrivaled wealth of unknown, authoritative, and detailed facts. Narrated from inside the intelligence services, it fundamentally transforms our understanding of how Russia works and how the Kremlin should be viewed.From Red Terror to Terrorist State is the first complete history of the Cheka. Written from the inside, it fundamentally transforms our understanding of Russia and rethinks the way the Kremlin should be approached. Animated by lifelong study, this monumental narrative by two exceptional Russian-intelligence experts presents ground-breaking, authoritative new insights based on an unrivalled wealth of new factual details.
