Queen Suzanne II Delatron, a modest Remiian housewife, leads a military expedition to protect the people of the planet Aristarchus. Suzanne’s husband King Richard III is fighting the terrible genetically-engineered Niaxians on and around the planet Kortokalidesh. As a diversion, Aristarchus is attacked by a Niaxian fleet and army, and its capital of Kalos is bombarded unmercifully from space. The King has no space units to help Aristarchus except one–the magnificent battle-cruiser Victory. After the Victory destroys the orbiting Niaxian warships, Suzanne travels with her marine regiment to Kalos, where she ministers to the people in the hospitals. But then the thoroughly civilian Queen goes to the Remiian marine position at Parton’s Gap against the advice of her officers, and is caught in what was the most terrible air-ground battle of the Niaxian War. There, in this epic adventure set in the year 2302, the courage and stamina of this seemingly ordinary woman are tested to the limit. Of all the great beings of the Galaxy, only Queen Suzanne came to save Aristarchus in its hour of greatest peril.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dr. Malcolm B. Brown, a native of central Pennsylvania, has had two careers–the first in the computer-electronics industry, and the second in academia. Now retired from these professions, he is engaged in a third career, that of author, and plans to write a series of Sci-Fi novels (The Victory, first to be published, is the third in a planned series of seven novels). Always a rather busy individual, he has been an amateur astronomer for over forty years, majored in Astrophysics and Philosophy as an undergraduate and studied Native Americans and the American West in graduate school, earning a Ph.D. in History. This academic background and the fact he likes to read a lot have been of enormous help in constructing his historically-oriented Sci-Fi novels. He lives in Washington State with his family, and is currently contemplating the construction of his fifth telescope.
