Description

Growing up, Travis Uriah Long yearned for order and discipline in his life... the two things his neglectful mother couldn't or wouldn't provide. So when Travis enlisted in the Royal Manticoran Navy, he thought he'd finally found the structure he'd always wanted so desperately.

But life in the RMN isn't exactly what he expected. Boot camp is rough and frustrating; his first ship assignment lax and disorderly; and with the Star Kingdom of Manticore still recovering from a devastating plague, the Navy is possibly on the edge of budgetary extinction.

The Star Kingdom is a minor nation among the worlds of the Diaspora, its closest neighbors weeks or months away, with little in the way of resources. With only modest interstellar trade, no foreign contacts to speak of, a plague-ravaged economy to rebuild, and no enemies looming at the hyper limit, there are factions in Parliament who want nothing more than to scrap the Navy and shift its resources and manpower elsewhere.

But those factions are mistaken. The universe is not a safe place.

Travis Long is about to find that out.

At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

About Timothy Zahn:
"Zahn keeps the story moving at a breakneck pace, maintaining excitement." -- Publishers Weekly

"[Y]ou can count on Timothy Zahn for three things: clean, sparse prose; good pacing; and great action scenes. The first book in the Cobra War series hits all those marks in admirable style and makes for a quick, entertaining sci-fi novel." -- Blogcritics

"[Conqueror's Heritage] is another finely wrought space adventure... [with] social, political and emotional complications, all of which Zahn treats with his usual skill." -- Booklist

"Zahn paints every detail [in Angelmass] with gleamy realism... scientific dialogue that streams with starship hardware and military trooper talk... immensely appealing." -- Kirkus Review
