Synopsis

An action-packed sci-fi novel with the depth, style and romance of the old masters. Huperum: Battle of Champions is a recently revised and updated futuristic SF novel that takes place on the terraformed world of Novus. After centuries of intercontinental war, chaos and reconstruction, Earth wants to reassert itself on the planet it built and colonized at great cost nearly a millennium before…Novus. Abandoned during Earth's cataclysms, Novus has learned to exist on its own and now rejects the mother planet's ancient claims. It now must decide how far it will go to maintain its independence, fully aware that it has developed a society where war no longer exists. Huperum has taken its place. Yet, it too demands the ultimate price few are willing to pay—nearly certain death in the arena against the new world's mightiest champions. One who does is Keef Terrason, determined to restore the lost honor and prominence of his people, Pearthia, the new world’s first colonists. Standing in his way is Pendar Loriat, an Akasian, bred and trained to rule—descendant of the Novus' first emperor, Pendar the Great. Into this backdrop arrives Earth's new Consul General, Sean Lewis, sent to Novus to convince the current emperor to meet Earth's demands. Earth does not want conflict, but is determined to take what is not willingly given. It believes it has paid too high a price not to.
