Pandora's Gambit, by Randall N. Bills, covers the political war between the three Captain-Generals of the former Free Worlds League and the results of Operation Stormdrain.
From the back cover
| “ | On 25 October 3069, the extremist Word of Blake attacked the capital of the Free Worlds League and declared the League's leader, Captain-General Thomas Marik, a fraud. House Marik fell into disgrace, and after eight centuries of existence, the Free Worlds League shattered.
Three captains-general now vie to reunite the realm: Anson Marik of the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth prides himself on possessing Marik blood and seeks to rule on its own strength. Lester Cameron-Jones of the Regulan Fiefs knows the Marik bloodline is defunct; only a new royal house can resurrect the League. Jessica Marik of the Oriente Protectorate is on a mission to redeem her father's name: the false Thomas Marik, the man who helped destroy the League. The world of Marik becomes a battleground as the three contenders prove that they will go to any lengths to further their causes. Only Jessica Marik appears to remember that the Free Worlds League was forged not through military might alone, but also through alliances of trust. They will all find the price for their ambitions is higher than they could ever have imagined. Who will be willing to pay? |
