Revolt Against Tyranny! Two Military Science Fiction Novels by a New
York Times Bestselling Author.
First Time in a Combined Mass Market Edition.
The struggle for independence on two colony worlds--Mars in the
not-so-distant future, and a distant world circling another star in the
far future, both threatened by powerful forces and faceless bureaucrats.
Birth of Fire: A teenage delinquent on a crowded, corrupt Earth,
Garrett was given a choice: rot in prison on Earth, or be deported to
Mars to work in the colony there. But on Mars he would find an inner
strength that he had never known before, and when Mars revolted against
the multinational corporations that controlled the colonist's lives,
Garrett was on the front lines in the battle for planetary freedom.
King David's Spaceship: Set in the same universe as the New York
Times best seller, The Mote in God's Eye. A new Empire has arisen and
is annexing Earth's surviving colony worlds. Haven had fallen back to a
nineteenth century level of technology, and the basic requirement for a
colony world to be admitted to the Empire as a full-fledged member with
the right of self-government is that the colony have space travel.
Unless Haven can somehow develop a spaceship, and quickly, the planet
will be ruled by Imperial agents and the inhabitants will be little more
than medieval serfs.
Two complete novels in one volume by New York Times best-selling
author Jerry Pournelle, telling of the eternal struggle of freedom
against tyranny throughout the galaxy.
