A Grand Imperial War

By Ray Tabler

Weeks into his new post commanding the small detachment of Imperial Marines guarding the Human embassy to the homeworld of the cat-like Farsalians, Lieutenant Suarez is facing a sticky situation. The Human ambassador is having an affair with a Farsalian princess, who is a cousin of the Farsalian Matriarch. That leads to an incident for which Suarez gets the blame, and then, oddly enough, the credit. Stanislaus VII, Emperor of all Humankind, decides that he is bored, and declaring war over the incident would be great fun and provide a break in the monotony of his opulent, indolent life. Desperate battles, secret missions, romantic entanglements, interstellar plots, and court intrigues now await Suarez and his doughty band in A Grand Imperial War.

Ray Tabler is a retired engineer and occasional author, originally from Louisville, Kentucky. He chased the north-bound dollar to Michigan because of a tragic addiction to a steady paycheck, where he married a lovely Yankee girl. Several decades later, despite the siren call of warmer climes, Ray might be permanently lodged in the frozen north. Ray's short fiction can be found in the pages of The Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, Baen's Universe, and Cosmic Crime Stories.
