Tarnished Knight

fullDescription

CEO Artur Drakon has been betrayed. The Syndicate Worlds’ government failed to protect its citizens from both the Alliance and the alien enigmas. With a cadre of reliable soldiers under his command, Drakon launches a battle for control of the Midway Star System—assisted by an ally he’s unsure he can trust…
 
CEO Gwen Iceni was exiled to Midway because she wasn’t ruthless enough in the eyes of her superiors. She proved them wrong by commandeering some of the warships at Midway and declaring the star system’s independence on behalf of the people though staying in charge as “President.” But while she controls the mobile fleet, she has no choice but to rely on “General” Drakon’s ground forces to keep the peace planet-side.
 
If their coup is to succeed, Drakon and Iceni must put their differences aside to prevent the population of Midway from rebelling against them, to defend their star system from the enigmas—and to ferret out saboteurs determined to reestablish Syndic rule…

     September 15, 2012
     Beginning a sort of spinoff series taking place, chronologically, between Campbell's last two outings (Beyond the Frontier: Dreadnaught, 2011, and Beyond The Frontier: Invincible, 2012) wherein the influence of "Black Jack" Geary is palpable, though he makes no actual appearance. The brutal, ruthlessly hypercapitalist rule of the Syndicate is faltering thanks to its inability to defend the people against either Geary or the alien enigmas. The Midway system, with its numerous hypergate passages to other Syndicate systems, is pivotal. Most citizens and even some CEOs are weary of being terrorized by the Gestapo-like political police, or snakes. Exiled CEO Artur Drakon, having long plotted rebellion, now launches an all-out effort to seize control of Midway's planets and exterminate the snakes. But he doesn't control what's left of Midway's space forces: for that, he needs an alliance with fellow-exile and would-be rebel CEO Gwen Iceni. In a carefully coordinated action, Iceni commandeers some of the warships and attacks those forces who remain loyal to the Syndicate or are dominated by snakes. After initial successes, both Drakon and Iceni declare independence. But their Syndicate heritage isn't so easily shaken off; neither can afford to trust the other, yet disaster looms if they don't. Both must maintain this delicate balance while rooting out nests of snakes and traitors and dealing with ambitious underlings. Campbell maintains the military, political and even sexual tension with sure-handed proficiency. In previous volumes, the emphasis leaned toward battles; here, while not neglecting them, Campbell focuses on the human element: two strong, well-developed characters locked in mutual dependence, fumbling their way toward a different and hopefully brighter future. What emerges is a fascinating and vividly rendered character study, fully and expertly contextualized. All the more impressive for being a significant departure from previous entries.

     Under his real name, John G. Henry, Campbell attended Annapolis and had a career in the U.S. Navy. He has now turned to writing well-received military sf, including the series that precedes the Lost Stars, the Lost Fleet. Now that the Alliance is victorious, chaos and mysterious aliens threaten the defeated Syndicate, and something must be done. Setting out to do it are an unlikely pair of mutually suspicious Syndicate panjandrums, Artur Dracon and Gwen Iceni. Artur has taken some degree of control over the planets of the Midway System and is trying to prevent the War of All Against All. Gwen was exiled to Midway for being softhearted and proved she was nothing of the kind by essentially stealing the local Syndicate fleet to defend the system. One almost has to say, Tune in next week for the next thrilling episode! This is that kind of series. Yet Campbell has much talent for fast action and intelligent characterization.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
