Her Majesty's Rebel — Steve White

The British Empire did not fall apart, but survived and took to the stars! There is no U.S.A., but America and India have become the dynamic portions of a star empire. After dealing with a terrorist plot on the isolated system of New America, Her Majesty's special agent Robert Rogers finds his loyalties tested as he fights to defend the sometimes prickly colonists of New America, and to foil a conspiracy within the British imperial government which he serves.Rogers is dismayed to find that the news he uncovered of the secret alliance between the hostile alien Gharnakh'sha and the star-spanning Islamic Caliphate has been suppressed. Worse, the fact that the Sons of Wilkinson, New America extremists Rogers previously thwarted, were in league with the Gharnakh'sha and the Caliphate has caused all New Americans to come under a cloud of imperial suspicion.When the Gharnakh'sha threaten once more, Rogers must decide whether or not to go rogue, and help the New Americans resist an oncoming occupation. What's more, the only hope for the colonists may be to deploy a super-weapon which Rogers has so far done everything in his power to prevent them from ever using!About Her Majesty's American:White presents thought provoking observations about humanity in an alternate future, with clever twists and turns.—BooklistWith a strong combination of alternate history, science fact, and science fiction, White (the Starfire series) takes readers into a future of interplanetary colonization and threats both foreign and domestic.—Publishers WeeklyAt the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
