Prince of Sunset
IT WASN'T MUCH OF AN EMPIRE ANYMORE—
BUT IT WAS ALL THEY HAD....
Afterwards, Basil Castellan was always certain
that it had all begun the day he'd been rescued by the dragon. Oh, it
hadn't been a real dragon, of course, or so he hastily assured everyone
to whom he told the story. Only . . . it had been a real dragon. But he
would never share that particular knowledge with anyone but Sonja and 'Tarval....
The Empire had preserved peace and order throughout human-inhabited
space, but it had grown weak with the passing of the centuries, and now
the self styled New Humans were rising in open rebellion, striving to
seize control and impose their fanatical grand design on all humans
everywhere. Basil, Sonja and Torval had only recently graduated from the
Imperial Deep Space Fleet Academy, and the three comrades had no inkling
of the crucial role they would play as the rising storm of war engulfed
the galaxy—nor of the importance of the Luon, the dragon-like beings
from Basil's homeworld, who were older, wiser, and more powerful than
humans could imagine.
