SPACE VIKING'S THRONE by John F. Carr & Mike Robertson is the
concluding sequel to The Last Space Viking, which is set at the end
of the First Interregnum of H. Beam Piper's galaxy spanning
Terro-Human Future History. A century after H. Beam Piper's seminal
novel Space Viking, a new powerful entity, the Mardukan Empire, has
arisen from the ashes of Lucas Trask's League of Civilized Worlds.
This new Empire has set, as its primary mission: the consolidation
of Terro-Human space under their aegis. This means the elimination
of all competing sovereignties, most especially the Space Vikings
and the destruction of their Old Federation base worlds. Captain
David Morland, formerly of Joyeuse, started his career as a Space
Viking in the twilight of the Sword-World's reign of fear. The time
when Space Vikings terrorized the Neobarbarian worlds of the former
Terran Federation has come to an end. The Sword-Worlds, locked into
endless rounds of fratricidal war, are unable to come to the aid of
their brethren in the former Terran Federation. The Imperial Navy
is now playing a game of cat and mouse; suddenly, Space Vikings
find they are the prey, not the hunters Lucas Trask's dream is
dead: The League of Civilized Worlds is no more. Tanith is quickly
reverting to a backwater world. The Trasks are forced to watch
impotently as events pass them by. Meanwhile, on far away
Poictesme-one of Morland's base worlds-events are occurring that
may rock the very foundations of the Old Federation. Prince David
Morland, the last of the great Space Viking captains, is being
hunted by Captain Vandarvant of the Imperial Mardukan Navy.
Vandarvant is consumed with revenge; he wants to pay-back Morland
for defeating him and almost destroying his ship, the Challenger.
While the new Empire casts its nets far and wide to catch the last
of the Space Vikings, Prince Morland works furiously in a race
against time to establish a base world on far off Sarpanitum that
can sustain itself against even the mighty Mardukan Empire.
Because, whether Morland likes it or not, the Empire is coming
Space Viking's Throne is the third novel set in the Space Viking
series.
