DOWNLOAD EBOOKHumanity's thousand-year-old interstellar empire has been rotting from the inside for over a century, thanks to venal, corrupt, and power-hungry sovereigns from a dynasty many consider illegitimate. The latest in that lineage, an increasingly psychotic empress, is pushing her realm toward catastrophic collapse as admirals and generals rebel against her rule. That rebellion quickly drags the once mighty Imperial Fleet into a devastating fratricidal conflict between factions. With civil war raging across human space, a Navy torn asunder can no longer protect frontier colonies, and barbarians long confined to the galactic badlands see an opportunity. After generations of hard existence on worlds beyond the bounds of human civilization, they hold life cheap, especially that of others. The barbarians will gladly steal everything they find and condemn defenseless star systems to technological and demographic collapse. That is if they don't wipe them out entirely from sheer bloodlust or by selling survivors on alien slave markets. One man, Captain Jonas Morane of the cruiser Vanquish, saw the empire's collapse coming years before the first admiral rebelled. When he finds himself the senior surviving officer of a loyalist Navy unit almost entirely annihilated by rebels, Morane puts in motion a plan he developed long ago. This plan was designed to not only save his ships and crews from certain death but keep humanity's accumulated knowledge from being obliterated by the long night of barbarism. However, before his dream can become a reality, Morane must lead the remains of the 197th Imperial Battle Group through an intricate wormhole network across a shattered empire, dodging his former colleagues from both sides, to the sanctuary he selected. Along the way, he rescues an Imperial Marine Corps Pathfinder battalion and the survivors of a religious order known for its mysticism from certain death, and enlists them in his cause. But will Morane's sanctuary survive both the flames of rebellion and the depredations of invading marauders before his rag-tag fleet can reach it? Imperial Sunset is the first installment in Eric Thomson's new saga Ashes of Empire. It tells the story of a desperate attempt to stave off the darkness threatening to smother humanity's interstellar empire and send civilization back to the Stone Age. Ashes of Empire is set in the Siobhan Dunmoore, Decker's War, and Quis Custodiet universe, but a thousand years after Zack Decker and Caelin Morrow's day, when they and Siobhan Dunmoore have become no more than minor footnotes in human history.

I've eaten just exactly the same out of every jar, so that they can have no idea whether I really did eat it, or whether Cook didn't fill the jars quite to the top. I don't like jam, Simon - as she talked, the tiny person was coming down the ladder, pay ing great attention to her shiny patent leather shoes - I don't like the sticky, sweet stuff! But oh, Simon l - safe down, she caught up the other ball of blue - not close to her, but holding it far enough to look into the pale grey eyes that blinked (back understandingly won't it be delicious when they find out l - when they don't find out, I mean. Isn't it delicious to puzzle the wits of those big people, Simon? Such stupid big people! And with a soft little chuckle, she moved the ladder back into its place and stole out; her baby face adorable in its guilelessness. Simon stole after her. Through all the Villa there was that breath lessness of extreme heat. A fountain plashed somewhere, patiently, but the stillness silenced it; turned it to no account. And in a spacious north east room above the garden, a small figure lying on a white chaise-longue, stretched itself wearily yawned, and sighed.
