Summary

"The Golden Brat" Reinhard von Lohengramm, a military
prodigy and admiral of the Galactic Empire, has ambitions beyond protecting the
borders or even defeating the Empire's enemies. He seeks to overthrow the old
order and become a truly absolute-yet benevolent-dictator. His rival, the humble
Yang Wen-li of the Free Planets Alliance, wishes to preserve democracy even if
he must sacrifice his political ideals to defeat the Empire. Their political and
military battles play out over a galactic chessboard in an epic saga fifteen
centuries in the making!
