Alliance: The Orion War

By Kali Altsoba

Alpha finally arrives at Harsa, just in time to fly into a fight against a ruthless Dauran general inside the immense lava tubes of Minotaur. All the Great Powers of Orion are now at war. The Calmar Union reels under a dual betrayal by Jahandar and Pyotr, Daura and the Imperium. More neutrals are invaded, and flee into armed exile. An alliance is forming in which Krevans like Jan Wysocki and Magda Aklyan play key roles, but it's badly led and already nearing defeat. It's still losing every fight, with whole fleets and armies gone and over a hundred worlds lost. Jahandar's drop ships land on Nunavut and Krakoya, with his murderous Shishi right behind. The Calmar Union is in crisis, the government teetering, morale plunging. The Dual Powers are on the move.SECOND EDITIONKali Altsoba is the pen name of the military historian Cathal J. Nolan, winner of the Gilder Lehrman Prize for Military History and the Distinguished Book Award from War on the Rocks.

Forthcoming is White Sails, which will follow Jan and Zofia and the Wreckers offworld on commando raids and into naval and marine battles, even as the fight between mass armies continues on Amasia and dozens more invaded and contested worlds.
