Цикл книг «Конец империи страха» — 10 книг

Империя Шаа, правившая Галактикой десять тысяч лет, принесла тысячам планет и рас мир, процветание и... множество запретов, обусловленных кодексом законов "Праксис".
Запрещены были нанотехнологии и искусственный интеллект, кибернетика, генетические эксперименты...
Но теперь империя Шаа пала, и получившие свободу обитатели Галактики стоят на грани хаоса и войны, которая станет, возможно, много страшнее, чем десятитысячелетная власть захватчиков.
Наступает Смутное время.
Время перемен.
Время, когда власть захватят сильнейшие!..

Но теперь империя Шаа пала. Повстанцы, взявшие под контроль большую часть звездного флота бывших "хозяев", победили - и установили на руинах империи режим жесточайшего террора.
Хаос Смутного времени сменился железным порядком новой тирании.
И теперь в Галактике зреет новое Сопротивление, во главе которого стоит чудом уцелевшие члены уничтоженного правительства Шаа.
Они готовы к партизанской войне. Войне, которую ведут без правил!..

“Space opera the way it ought to be [...] Bujold and Weber, bend the knee; interstellar adventure has a new king, and his name is Walter Jon Williams.” -- George R.R. Martin

Now in trade paperback, the climactic final episode of the Dread Empire’s Fall trilogy--what started with The Praxis and The Sundering comes to the brilliant conclusion in Walter Jon William's epic space adventure.

Working on opposite sides of the galaxy--one in deep space, the other undercover on an occupied planet--and haunted by personal ghosts, Captain Gareth Martinez and Lieutenant Lady Caroline Sula fight to save the Empire from the vicious, alien Naxid. In a desperate, audacious bid to stop the Naxid fleet, Martinez makes a move that could win the war...and lose his career. Meanwhile, Sula’s guerilla tactics may not be enough to stop the Naxid, until she tries one deadly, final gambit.

And make sure to see what happens after, in the first new Praxis novel in ten years, The Accidental War, available Fall 2018!

Having offended her superiors by winning a battle without permission, Caroline Sula has been posted to the planet Earth, a dismal backwater where careers go to die. But Sula has always been fascinated by Earth history, and she plans to reward herself with a long, happy vacation amid the ancient monuments of humanity's home world.

Sula may be an Earth history buff, but there are aspects of her own history she doesn't want known. Exposure is threatened when an old acquaintance turns up unexpectedly. Someone seems to be forging evidence that would send her to prison. And all that is before someone tries to kill her.

If she's going to survive, Sula has no choice but to make some history of her own.

Если вдуматься, то война не что иное, как вложение капитала, а война в космосе тем более. Значит, вести её нужно как бизнес-проект!

It’s been seven years since the end of the Naxid War. Sidelined for their unorthodox tactics by a rigid, tradition-bound military establishment, Captain Gareth Martinez and Captain the Lady Sula are stewing in exile, frustrated and impatient to exercise the effective and lethal skills they were born to use in fighting the enemy.

Yet after the ramshackle empire left by the Shaa conquerors is shaken by a series of hammer blows that threaten the foundations of the commonwealth, the result is a war that no one planned, no one expected, and no one knows how to end.

Now, Martinez, Sula, and their confederate Nikki Severin must escape the clutches of their enemies, rally the disorganized elements of the fleet, and somehow restore the fragile peace—or face annihilation at the hands of a vastly superior force.
