Sequel to "The Heretic, "Book 10 in the nationally best-selling
General series.
FROM HERETIC TO SAVIOR
Duisberg is one of thousands of planets plunged into darkness and
chaos by the collapse of the galactic republic, but where other
worlds have begun to rebuild a star-travelling culture, Duisberg
remains in an uneasy balance between mud-brick civilization and
bloodthirsty barbarism.
The people of Duisberg have a god: Zentrum, a supercomputer from
the ancient past. Zentrum has decided avoid another collapse by
preventing civilization from rising from where it is. This is known
as the Stasis. And because even a supercomputer and the powerful
religion which it founded cannot block all progress, Zentrum has
another tool: every few centuries the barbarians sweep in from the
desert, slaughtering the educated classes and cowing the peasants
back into submission. These are the Blood Winds, and the Blood
Winds are about to blow again.
This time, however, there's a difference: Abel Dashian, son of a
military officer, has received into his mind the spirit of Raj
Whitehall, the most successful general in the history of the planet
Bellevue--and of Center, the supercomputer which enabled Raj to
shatter his planet's barbarians and permit the return of
civilization.
One hero can't stop the tide of barbarians unless he has his own
culture supporting him. To save Duisberg, Abel must conquer the
very land of his origin and attempt to destroy the computer A.I.
"god" who has doomed his world to an everlasting Dark Age. Abel is
a heretic, but now he must go beyond and become--THE SAVIOR.
About "The Savior "prequel, "The Heretic:
""More than once, I envied Abel's 'gift.' If you count having the
voice of a computer and the recreation of a famous general in your
head as a gift . . . An interesting relationship that elevates the
novel] to something unique. . .I loved the battles and I found Abel
to be an engaging character. I adored Golitsin, his priest
friend."--"SF Crowsnest"
About the Raj Whitehall series:
" T]old with knowledge of military tactics and hardware, and
vividly described action . . . devotees of military SF should enjoy
themselves."--"Publishers Weekly"
" A] thoroughly engrossing military sf series . . . superb battle
scenes, ingenious weaponry and tactics, homages to Kipling, and
many other goodies. High fun."--"Booklist"
About David Drake:
" P]rose as cold and hard s the metal alloy of a tank ... rivals
Crane and Remarque ..." -"Chicago Sun-Times"
"Drake couldn't write a bad action scene at gunpoint." -"Booklist"
About Tony Daniel:
" D]azzling stuff."-"New York Times Book Review
"
" His work] teems with vivid characters and surprising
action.""-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"
"Daniel proves that the Golden Age of science fiction is right
here and now."-Greg Bear"
"
" A] large cast of utterly graspable humans, mostly military and
political folks, of all ranks and capacities and temperments.
Daniel has a keen eye for the kinds of in extremis thinking and
behavior that such a wartime situation would engender. . . .
Following in the footsteps of Poul Anderson and Greg Bear . .
