For centuries, the Daegon waited. They plotted. And now they are ready to strike.
The core worlds of settled space enjoy a tenuous peace, unaware and ill prepared for the threat building beyond the furthest reaches of humanity. The star kingdom of Albion stands as a shining light of justice and mercy in a harsh galaxy, and they will be the first to suffer the Daegon's fury.
Defying his low born status, and despite his self-doubt, Commodore Thomas Gage has risen through the ranks by sheer grit and determination, defending Albion from brutal pirate clans.
And when the onslaught comes, Gage and his fleet may be Albion's last hope for freedom.
A new military science-fiction series for fans of Honor Harrington, Earth Alone and Old Man’s War from the author of the best-selling Ember War Saga.

Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine. No Jacket. First three in the series of six self-published science fiction trade paperbacks. We list the ISBN of "Albion Lost." The ISBNs of "The Long March and "Finest Hour" are 1548171700 and 9781698190518. First two titles are near-fine; "Finest Hour" is very-good-plus with vertical reading creases developing about 1/4-inch in from the spine. A bunch of evil humans walled off from our local star systems "beyond the Veil" figure out how to return and conquer the planet Albion. Commodore Thomas Gage takes the remains of Albion's space fleet into exile, seeking allies against the invaders. Some may consider these books fast-paced or "action-packed," but the author's inability to create characters as well-rounded and sympathetic as David Weber's Honor Harrington and company presumably earned rejections from any major houses he tried. For one thing, these paperbacks appear to be set in 11 pt. type, but where 11 is usually ledded 13 or 14 (allowing minimal space between lines of type), here the ledding is about 24. (Imagine pages typed out on an old-fashioned typewriter with the carriage return set to "double space.") This huge spacing between lines of type allows only about 135 words per page, which means these books of about 450 to 490 pages count only about 63,500 words, each. Compare this to Weber's work for Baen: using smaller type and tighter ledding, the trade paperback of "Flag in Exile" fits 310 words per page, so that 443-page book holds 138,000 words -- more than twice the actual content of "The Long March." Whereas Weber's later, hardcover releases, like "In Enemy Hands," fit 320 words to a page, meaning the 530 pages of "In Enemy Hands" give that novel a word count of 170,600 -- almost three times the actual content of these hasty exercises. Yes, the eye adjusts quickly to these spaced-out pages. But there are hardly any PERSONALITIES in these missile battles. Why not use that wasted paper to give us a more complex, nuanced, involving piece of fiction? Fox does better in collaboration with Weber; see "Governor" and "Rebel." Reduced from $37.
