Contains Books #7 and #8, The Reformer and The Tyrant, in the
best selling General series
The Empire of Man has fallen and a new Dark Age is upon the stars. With
planets cut off and reduced to subsistence and ignorance, humanity has
nearly forgotten its past greatness. But one battle computer has
survived the Collapse. He is Center. And Center is determined to find
and aid leaders who can return a star-faring republic to the galaxy. The
first of these leaders is Raj Whitehall, a man born to be a general, and
molded to retake civilization itself from the jaws of barbarism.
The Reformer by S.M. Stirling and David Drake
On Hafardine, civilization had fallen further than most. That men came
from the stars was not even a rumor of memory in Adrian Gellert's day.
The Empire of Vanbret spread across the lands in a sterile splendor that
could only end in another collapse, more ignominious and complete than
the first. Adrian Gellert was a philosopher, a Student of the Grove. His
greatest desire was a life of contemplation in the service of wisdom . .
. until he touched the 'holy relic' that contained the disincarnate
minds of Raj Whitehall and Center. On that day, Adrian's search for
wisdom would lead him to a life of action, from the law-courts of
Vanbret to the pirate cities of the Archipelago and battlefields
bloodier than any in the history he'd learned. The prize was the future
of humanity.
The Tyrant by Eric Flint and David Drake
On the planet Hafardine, civilization must rediscover progress or
collapse. Adrian, guided by disembodied electronic mentors from space,
has brought gunpowder and steam power to the Kingdom of the Isles to
break the stranglehold of the Empire. But he will have to avoid being
killed by the suspicious King he serves, by the barbarians he must
recruit, and even by his insanely vengeful brother.
