EARTH IS BORN AND COMES INTO HER POWER IN A CLASSIC TALE OF HEROISM AND

UNLEASH THE FURY!
Zhikotse. Shallingsport. Louvain. Sacred fields of battle on far-flung
worlds where warriors of the Imperial Cadre spent blood and lives
defending human civilization. Alicia DeVries was there; she led the
charge. Her reward? Betrayal by a deceitful empire. Retirement to
obscurity.
Now Alicia is the only survivor of a brutal attack on her frontier-world
family. Not since the mighty Achilles has the ancient spirit of the Fury
Tisiphone taken up residence inside a human being. But not since
Achilles has a warrior so skilled, so implacable, and possessing so much
battle sense sprung up among the mass of humankind. Hero of the Empire.
Holder of the Banner of Terra.
There is a blood price to be paid. The Fury has awakened.

enjoy this expanded version of Path of the Fury. [Alicia DeVries has
many similarities to Weber's more famous heroine, Honor Harrington, but
her own conflicts and crises are quite different."--SF Revue
