When the orbital gates first materialized in the outer Solar System, all
seemed well, but a devastating invasion ensued. Now humans have battled
back from conquest by a tyrannical alien species to become a force to
reckon with in the galaxy. On a crash-building course, humanity under
the leadership of Tyler Vernon, has created a near-impregnable battle
station of Deathstar proportions to prove it. But the enemy is
remorseless and to survive humans must take the fight to the heart of
their empire and prevail-- a feat no previous species has ever
accomplished. Instead, the bones and burnt hulks of those who have tried
litter the star-ways.
But these galactic imperialists have never contended with humans, a foe
who is their match in sheer ferocity and desire to win.
The third novel in the Troy Rising space adventure series.
Praise for the previous novels in the Troy Rising series:
"[Live Free or Die has] do-or-die action...plenty of old-fashioned
two-fisted can-do attitude, a heavy dose of science, and occasional
bursts of dry humor...." --Publishers Weekly
"Ringo is back [in Citadel] with a rousing tale of derring-do in
space...as good as ever, giving the reader an epic space opera complete
with grand vistas and...pungent writing, snappy characters, and gallows
humor." --Booklist
