Brass Jack: A Dangerous Dance of Empire

by Robert Seutter

Communicating with a Solarian Knight was possibly the most troubling thing Tyan had ever done.

Especially when said Solarian Knight demands that Tyan challenge the Emperor himself to a duel, awful truth of Organi attack on the Empire or not, temporary ceasefire or not.

Brass Jack Solomon is none too happy, either. With the Empire determined to tear apart the very fabric of the universe, starting with his young friend, Jack once more sets himself between the Empire and those he loves. After all, the Empire may classify Tyan as a dangerously powerful, wild talent, but Jack just sees a young man with good intentions at war with deadly imperial politics.

Part of that stand means Jack must return to Lem-Bob. It will require every trick he's ever used and a few he hasn't yet invented. The Rus are attacking, the Empire wants desperately to get their hands on the Krr-Karr Ambassador, the Knights have an honor duel to host, and Jack's dream to keep Lem-Bob in
obscurity has been shattered. Amidst battle starships and swords, Psi-Lords and frontier settlers, Jack must pull every string he has to save his loved ones and his adopted home… and possibly even save the Universe.

Liked it even better than the other two. Now I have a sad because I've read all three books and wish there were more. I shall miss my Lembovian friends.
