The Prodigal Emperor

The Prodigal Emperor Returns

Baron Lucius Giovanni is working with the Nova Roma’s Emperor seeks to liberate the capital of the fallen star nation from the alien Chxor Empire. The problem is, the enemy has mustered a vast, powerful fleet and holds the human inhabitants of the star system as hostages. Any attempt to liberate the system will provoke a full on extermination of all humans in the system

Lucius has a plan, it is a bold move, one not without risk. Only there are those among his allies and even trusted friends who aren’t willing to accept that risk. Men and women who want to usurp power of the United Colonies Fleet, to turn it into a force of conquest rather than liberation… and who see removing Lucius Giovanni as the first crucial step in that process.

The key to victory lies with Lucius’s Nova Roma allies, because their young Emperor will do whatever he must to free his homeworld. Nova Roma’s Prodigal Son will return at the head of an entire armada, and it is Lucius’s job to make certain they liberate billions of people instead of capturing a scorched ruin.
