Falkenberg's Legion

Falkenberg's Legion #2 / 4
by Jerry Pournelle
Falkenberg's Legion (Falkenberg's Legion #2) by Jerry Pournelle
Unrated

The seeds of contradiction that lay at the heart of the Soviet-American alliance are bearing their final fruit. Soon they will rip the Codomminium apart — and Earth will die.

In the face of that inevitability the fate of humanity lies with the Colony Worlds — a few of which are equipped for more than barest survival. Thrown upon their own resources, their futures seem as limited as their pasts. They — and humanity — have one hope: that somehow, someone will have both the vision and the strength to grasp the tattered remnants of civilization and weld them into a single galaxy-spanning society.
