The Great Game — John Sheffield

With the aid of a few Yerboli and Darien females, Mariska Gabor and Gareth Owen have succeeded in taking back the sub-continent of Sambhar. Meanwhile, the supreme Siguldian leader, Sigismund Dracu the Thirteenth, sends General Azamat to Earth to obtain hydrogen bombs. Sigismund's cousin, Mehrak Dracu, takes charge of thwarting the rebellion. Gareth fights a dragon in a successful effort to gain Yerbol support, and experiences an interaction with the Parashai, a mythical entity believed by the Dariens to have created all sentient beings in the galaxy. After a series of misadventures, Mariska and Gareth lead armies from the north and south to attack Dracu's forces in the Capital, Mohen. Will they succeed in defeating the invaders?
