Since the Cold War, outer space has become of strategic importance
for nations looking to seize the ultimate high ground. World powers
establishing a presence there must consider, among other things,
how they will conduct warfare in orbit. Leaders must dispense with
"Buck Rogers" notions about operations in space and realize that
policies there will have serious ramifications for their success in
geopolitics. How should nations view space? How should they fight
there? What would space warfare look like and how should
strategists approach it? Offering critical observations regarding
this unique theater of international relations, a military
professional explores the strategic implications as human affairs
move beyond Earth's atmosphere.

The year is 10,515 AD. The Hyades Armada, traveling at near
lightspeed, will reach Earth in just four centuries to assess
humanity's value as slaves. For the last 8,000 years, two opposing
factions have labored to meet the alien threat in very different
ways.
One of them is Ximen del Azarchel, immortal leader of the mutineers
from the starship "Hermetic" and self-appointed Master of the
World, who has allowed his followers to tamper continuously with
the evolutionary destiny of Man, creating one bizarre race after
another in an apparent search for a species the Hyades will find
worthy of conquest.
The other is Menelaus Montrose, the posthuman Judge of Ages, whose
cryonic Tombs beneath the surface of Earth have preserved survivors
from each epoch created by the Hermeticists. Montrose intends to
thwart the alien invaders any way he can, and to remain alive long
enough to be reunited with his bride Rania, who is on a
seventy-millennia journey to confront the Hyades' masters, tens of
thousands of light-years away.
Now, with the countdown to the Hyades' arrival nearing its end, del
Azarchel and Montrose square off for what is to be their final
showdown for the fate of Earth, a battle of gunfire and cliometric
calculus; powered armor and posthuman intelligence. "Judge of Ages
"is the wildly inventive third volume in a series exploring future
history and human evolution from John C. Wright.
