Justice — David Drake

ARMORED APOCALYPSE

A world of eight warring planes, where gods and men battle for mastery of the Matrix, a high-tech bridge through space and time. A world where weaponry is the supreme art. Where peace can be crueler than combat. Where a single battle could puncture the Matrix and plunge the entire population--king, android, lizard, and serf--into the void ...

It is the closing act of a desperate campaign. In a last titanic conflict, Security Forces Commissioner Nils Hansen faces the ultimate test.

Northworld approaches its final day. It is written that not all are fated to die.

But which few will survive?
