The Spirit of Dorsai
A collection of two stories and linking material.
Throughout the universe, the Dorsai are feared and respected as the
most effective soldiers humanity has ever known. But the warrior spirit
of the Dorsai race does not, cannot, reside solely in the men of that
race – for when the Dorsai go to fight wars on distant planets, it is
the women who remain behind to defend their world and their future. The
home planet of the Dorsai has never fallen to any invader, although
many have tried...
Through three generations, Amanda Morgan has
embodied the best of the Dorsai: the selfless courage, keen
intelligence, and unconquerable soul. She is more than one lone woman.
She is... The Spirit of Dorsai.
