Book description
The terrible war between the Earth Federation and the Herculean Empire
has been over for three centuries. The Herculeans had been over for
three centuries. The Herculeans had been defeated, their planet reduced
to a burnt-out cinder, the few surviving remnants of their people living
in a religious commune on Myraa's World, half a galaxy away. But on an
unnamed planet, hidden deep within the Hercules Globular Cluster, two
survivors, father and son, emerge from stasis with their fanatical
hatred of Earth intact. Gathering hidden resources, they begin to
implement the plan that will revive the war and destroy Earth forever.
George Zebrowskis nearly forty books include novels, short fiction
collections, anthologies, and a book of essays. Science fiction writer
Greg Bear calls him one of those rare speculators who bases his dreams
on science as well as inspiration, and the late Terry Carr, one of the
most influential science fiction editors of recent years, described him
as an authority in the SF field. Zebrowski has published more than
seventy works of short fiction and more than a hundred and forty
articles and essays, and has written about science for Omni Magazine.
His short fiction and essays have appeared in Amazing Stories, The
Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Science Fiction Age, Nature,
the Bertrand Russell Society News, and many other publications.
