Throne of Stars
(2014)(A book in the Empire of Man series)
An omnibus of novels by John Ringo and David Weber
Books 3 and 4 in the New York Times best-selling Empire of Man series: March to the Stars and We Few, both New York Times bestsellers.
Prince Roger MacClintock was an heir to the galaxy's Throne of Man and a self-obsessed spoiled young brat - that is, until he and the Royal Marines sent to protect him were stranded by an assassination attempt on the wild and dangerous planet of Marduk. After much travail, Roger has developed into a competent and compassionate leader of men. That competence will be tested when Roger and the Marines face an even greater challenge. The Throne of Man has been usurped. With his brother dead and the forces of an interstellar empire arrayed against him, Roger must avenge his family and fight for the just rule of a thousand stars.
At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
About The Empire of Man Series:
"Will fascinate sophisticated readers (the manual of arms for a four-armed, ten-foot soldier is a thing of beauty) . . . [and] grip straightforward action lovers." - Publishers Weekly
"Coauthors Weber and Ringo excel in depicting the lives and times of soldiers both on and off the battlefield." - Library Journal
David Weber is the science fiction publishing phenomenon of the new millennium, with over 7.8 million copies of his books in print and 17 titles on the New York Times bestseller list. Books in the Honor Harrington and Honoverse series have appeared on fourteen best seller lists, including those of The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and USA Today. Weber is also the creator of the Oath of Swords fantasy series and the Dahak saga. Weber has also written highly popular collaborations, including his Starfire Series with Steve White, the New York Times bestseller The Shiva Option among others. Weber's collaboration with alternate history master Eric Flint led to the bestselling 1634: The Baltic War. His planetary adventure novels with military science fiction ace John Ringo includes the blockbusters March to the Stars and We Few. Weber has also emerged as a young adult New York Times best-selling author with his novels, A Beautiful Friendship and Fire Season. Weber makes his home in South Carolina with his wife and children.
John Ringo brings fighting to life. He is the creator of the Posleen Wars series, which has become a New York Times best-selling series with over 3.3 million books in print and 10 New York Times bestsellers. The series contains A Hymn Before Battle, Gust Front, When the Devil Dances, Hell's Faire and Eye of the Storm. In addition, Ringo has penned the Council War series: There Will be Dragons, Emerald Sea, Against the Tide, and East of the Sun, West of the Moon. Adding another dimension to his skills, Ringo created nationally best-selling techno-thriller novels about Mike Harmon (Ghost, Kildar, Choosers of the Slain, Unto the Breach, A Deeper Blue, and, with Ryan Sear, Tiger by the Tail). His techno-thriller The Last Centurion was also a national best seller. A more playful twist on the future is found in novels of the Looking Glass series: Into the Looking Glass, Vorpal Blade, Manxome Foe and Claws That Catch, the last three in collaboration with the Rocket City Redneck Travis S. Taylor. His audience was further enhanced with four collaborations with fellow New York Times best-selling author David Weber: March Upcountry, March to the Sea, March to the Stars and We Few. There are an additional five collaborative spinoffs from the Posleen series.
