Birth of the Rim: Books 3-4
(2024)(A book in the Birth of Rim series)
An omnibus of novels by Phil Huddleston
Jake Hammett has disappeared into the Core, never to be seen again. Or has he?
As his descendants continue the fight for honor and justice, the odds seem to be always stacked against them. But Jake's blood runs true--they never give up the fight!
Imprint of Honor
They killed everyone on her ship--except her. That was their big mistake. Now she will have her revenge.
Forty years after the Battle of Orinoco, Orien Satra - son of Jake and Andrea - is the XO of a heavy cruiser in the Rim Defense Force. His sister Ligeia is the Prime Minister of RimFed; and Ligeia's daughter Miranda is a newly commissioned ensign on the distant scout ship Troublemaker. In a crazy-quilt pattern of war, treachery, and the razor's edge of survival, their destinies are about to smash together. Ambushed by a sinister enemy, Troublemaker is destroyed. More than 1,100 lights from home, badly injured, alone in a lifeboat – somehow, Miranda survives. Little does the young ensign know her destiny holds the key to the future of the entire Rim - and the lives of billions!
Imprint of Defiance
The Rim has degenerated into an Empire of corruption. A deadly enemy pushes the Empire naval forces back at every battle. The handwriting is on the wall - soon, humans will be obsolete. Unwavering, a newly minted ensign continues the fight for the life of her Empire; yet that very Empire would destroy her, and let the Empire fall, before letting their hidden truth be revealed. As the survival of her civilization becomes tied to her own, Zoe Goodwin realizes her own survival requires her to take down an Emperor!
