Use us for a dumping ground for all your problems. Go ahead and abandon these here.” This might have been fine, too, but for the UN and its corrupt bureaucracy insisting on maintaining control and milking the new world and its settlers, willing and unwilling both, bone dry.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Contained herein are tales of the history of mankind’s future first colony, from the first failed attempt at colonization, to the rise in crime, to the rise in terrorism, to its descent into widespread civil war and rebellion . . . and ultimately liberation. As with most of human history, this history is messy, with good men and women turning bad, bad men and women inadvertently doing good, and blood flowing in the streets. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e About Tom Kratman’s Carrera series:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “[I]nterplanetary warfare with. . .[a] visceral story of bravery and sacrifice . . . fans of the military SF of John Ringo and David Weber should enjoy this SF action adventure.”–\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “Kratman's dystopia is a brisk page turner full of startling twists … [Kratman is] a professional military man … up to speed on military and geopolitical conceits.” –Best-selling author of \u003ci\u003eAmerica Alone \u003c\/i\u003eMark Steyn on Tom Kratman’s uncompromising military SF thriller, \u003ci\u003eCaliphate\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “Kratman raises disquieting questions on what it might take to win the war on terror…realistic action sequences, strong characterizations and thoughts on the philosophy of war.” – \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Carerra Series:\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Desert Called Peace \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCarnifex \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Lotus Eaters \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Amazon Legion \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCome and Take Them\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Rods and the Axe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Pillar of Fire by Night\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Tom Kratman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":52970998956192,"sku":"9781481484169","price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_961e2aaa-a97d-4708-a595-d0e7cc4694d8.jpg?v=1761170368","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9781481484169","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
