Readers are strongly encouraged to read the first two books before embarking on this third book. Struthers has suffered serious defeats at the hands of Terran forces, but he is fighting back. First on his list: convene the Imperial Senate, name himself emperor, and officially declare Imperial Forces in rebellion. The Queen must present herself to the senate. If she can, Struthers’ rebellion will fail, but the meeting will be held on Triton, his headquarters world. It is up to First Knight Michael Carver to find a way to spirit her into the senate and back out again. Because she is the Last of the Chosen, his plan must be perfect. The meeting will take place in 18 months. Both sides will use that time to solidify their positions. Meanwhile, the Chessori know who it is that’s been defeating them. They have successfully dealt with emerging worlds in the past, and they fully expect to do so again. less

Sky Knights, the fourth book of the Spirit of Empire series, departs from the main story line to deal with Sir Galborae’s return to Tranxte. Gleasons are the most feared and lethal creatures in the galaxy. Eight feet tall and invisible, they mind link with others of their kind, so what one gleason knows, they all know. Rebels hired gleasons for a special mission against the Empire. Their payment to the gleasons for helping them: a new hunting ground, an emerging world called Tranxte... moreSky Knights, the fourth book of the Spirit of Empire series, departs from the main story line to deal with Sir Galborae’s return to Tranxte. Gleasons are the most feared and lethal creatures in the galaxy. Eight feet tall and invisible, they mind link with others of their kind, so what one gleason knows, they all know. Rebels hired gleasons for a special mission against the Empire. Their payment to the gleasons for helping them: a new hunting ground, an emerging world called Tranxte. A world of castles and knights armed with swords and arrows, Tranxte is essentially helpless against these vicious creatures. Lady Krys, an Empire Knight, discovered the grim situation on Tranxte and rescued a near-dead knight, Sir Galborae. She nursed him back to health and delivered him to Empire authorities with the promise that he would one day lead a great army back to Tranxte to save his people. Sky Knights is his story. less
