The fate of the galaxy rests
in the hands of a single hero in this star-spanning story of sci-fi adventure.
The Thirteenth Man
by
J.L. Doty
After five years as a prisoner
of war, Commander Charlie Cass-bastard son of the Duke de Maris-is finally
home. But his arrival is cause for consternation as much as celebration,
because when he was thought dead, he was considered a hero to the Empire.
Alive, he's a political
liability. Because the war with the Syndonese is not yet over, and while the
King technically answers to the Nine-the Dukes of the various planets and moons
of the Empire-there are others actually pulling his strings. And they certainly
don't need Charlie Cass messing up their delicate plans. Unfortunately for
them, that's what he's best at. And when the next war always seems to begin as
soon as the ink is dry on the peace treaty, only a true hero can set things
right.
Spanning the galaxy, The
Thirteenth Man (ISBN: 9780062562081, on sale 08/23/2016, $3.99) blends the
best traditions of space opera and military sci-fi into a non-stop adventure
that's as much Patrick O'Brien as it is John Scalzi.
