The Defiance — Bill Baldwin

READY FOR WAR

Wilf Brim returns at last to two early loves: the ancient city of Atalanta, and beautiful Claudia Valemont Admiral Brim commands the Imperial Fleet Bas , leading the Empire's war against the League of Dark Stars' evil ally, Torond.

Here the Helmsman must rally his demoralized forces, break Torond's siege of Atalanta, and capture the alien star fort of Gontor. Quickly...under a cloak of total secrecy...and at the risk of being falsely branded a traitor....

If Wilf Brim fails, the Empire may be doomed. And if he succeeds, the Helmsman's career and life may be destroyed....
