Stars of Blood and Glory

<p><strong>The only hope for the last free stars now lies on the path of blood and glory.</strong></p><p>The princess of Shinihon could not have picked a worse time to run away. The largest Hameji battle fleet ever gathered threatens to overrun the last of the free stars. To make matters worse a rogue assassin from an unknown faction has killed the high admiral of the Federation. Without clear leadership the war may be lost before she can be found.</p><p>But Danica Nova and her band of Tajji mercenaries are no strangers to lost causes. They've fought the Hameji before and they'll fight them again-not for honor or for glory but simply for the pay. War has been their way of life ever since the diaspora from the homeworld.</p><p>Master Sergeant Roman Krikoryan is one of the few remaining mercenaries still old enough to remember the homeworld. But he's an old cyborg and his humanity is fading. Death is a mercy he doesn't expect to find on this mission.</p><p>They aren't the only ones after the princess however. Hungry for glory and eager to make a name for himself Sholpan's son Abaqa seeks to make the girl his slave. Though only a boy he'll stop at nothing to prove himself to his Hameji brethren.</p><p>With the Federation in disarray the bloody end of the war may come too soon for some of them. But one thing is certain-not all of them will live to see it.</p>
