Winter Planet

by M.E. Proctor

Eight years have passed since the end of the civil war and the fall of Hallam’s dictatorship. Kassem, the Lord Sorcerer, has left the political arena. Sachs, the android, explores the galaxy. Aidan Gable rebuilds his family home and watches his young son learn to walk. They want to believe that the Federation is at peace. But peace is an illusion as thin and treacherous as summer ice on the Winter Planet.
Soren Rowan has not given up his supreme ambition. To rule alone and restore the throne of his ancestors. After years of intrigue, his weapons are ready and his pawns are in position. Brute force, deadly science and blind fanaticism. He will use them ruthlessly, to the point of total annihilation, and his adversaries are not ready. It will cost them dearly.
