Contains Books #5 and #6 The Sword and The Chosen, 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 Sword
For five years Raj Whitehall has led his men across the face of the
planet Bellevue. With saber and bayonet he has conquered one barbarian
nation after another. Now his greatest enemy is his own overlord,
Barholm Clerett, who's so paranoid of Raj's victories that he is reduced
to only one thought: Raj Whitehall must die.
The Chosen
Planted by interstellar probes on hundreds of human-occupied worlds, the
downloaded personalities of Raj Whitehall and the ancient battle
computer known as Center work together for planetary unity. On Visager,
a nation-state of vicious militarists is about to start the final war
that will bring their fatal racist infection to the stars. Now two young
men once at odds in war must unite and, with the aid of the disembodied
voices of their mentors from the stars, stand against exporting eternal
tyranny to the galaxy itself.
