Standish: The Earth Saga Universe

by Donald B. McFarlane, Scott Pearson (Editor), Ivan Batsalov (Illustrator)

Duty, love and war are a lethal mix. Val Standish is a young farm girl on Nadolo Prime, and everyone knows there's only one way off that backwater joining the Imperial Fleet. Val is looking forward to a peacetime career repairing ships. But when an empire-spanning civil war breaks out, Val is forced to prove just how strong she can be. Val's heroics lead her to a cushy job as head of the Royal Protection Syndicate in charge of protecting the princess. But love and war are as hard on princesses as they are on farm girls, and Val's challenges aren't over yet. Standish is a full-length standalone space opera novel in the Earth Saga series. Start here for thrilling space exploration in the vein of The Expanse, or start at the beginning to get the military science fiction experience readers call "the most amazing action sci-fi romp."
