Steve White Knihy

Třetí kniha série Starfire. „Náročným terénem rychle projdi. V uzavřeném terénu použij lest. V bezvýchodném terénu bojuj." - Sun-c': Umění války (asi 400 př. n. l.) Čím víc se věci mění, tím víc zůstávají stejné. I tři tisíce let poté, co Mistr Sun napsal tato slova, za Čtvrté mezihvězdné války, ona stará rada platí. „Štěnice" mají drtivou početní převahu, jsou neúprosně cílevědomé a používají strategii, nad kterou zůstává rozum stát. Nedají se přesvědčit, nedá se s nimi dohodnout. Nedá se s nimi dokonce ani komunikovat. Ale co chtějí, je děsivé zřejmé. Rozumné rasy, které jim stojí v cestě, nejsou nepřátelé, kteří mají být ovládnuti; tyto rasy mají posloužit jako zdroje potravy. Bez jakéhokoliv ohledu na ztráty se jejich obrovské flotily valí kupředu jako nezadržitelná přírodní síla. Ale zoufalé námořnictvo Federace i jejích orionských spojenců, bývalých nepřátel, nemá kam ustoupit. Slabá uskupení často poškozených lodí představují všechno, co stojí mezi miliardami bezbranných civilistů na světech za nimi a nepřítelem jako z děsivého snu. Aspoň však mají jasno v možnostech volby. Jak pravil Sun-c', v bezvýchodném terénu lze použít jen jedinou strategii: Bojovat

Druhá kniha série Starfire. Před tím než přišlo Povstání a roztrhlo Terranskou federaci vedví, prošlo lidstvo řadou zničujících mezihvězdných válek. Ta poslední, mezi lidmi a Orioňany, o ukončení všech mezihvězdných konfliktů, skončila napjatým mírem. Je to mír naplněný strachem, nenávistí a nedůvěrou na obou stranách. Pak se z jedné hraniční mimoprostorové zkratky, pověstné tím, že se v ní ztrácejí hvězdolety, vynoří loď z polozapomenutých dob historie. Na výzvy orionské hlídky odpoví kódem dávno ztracené lidské kolonie a zahájí palbu. A nanovo tím rozdmýchá oheň mezihvězdné války - křížové války za osvobození Svaté matky Země...

The war with the profoundly alien Arduans has ended, and the Arduans have come to call humanity their allies. Most of them—the Arduan warrior caste refuses to accept defeat. Now known as the Kaituni, they are waging a war of extermination against all members of the pan-Sentient Union, human and Arduan alike. What’s more, the Kaituni have an unexpected weapon in their arsenal: the alien Arachnids, once thought driven to extinction. The Kaituni drive the Arachnid fleet ahead of them, inflicting untold damage. The war has been marked by retreat on the side of the pan-Sentient Union. It seems the best they can do is minimize their losses. But now the Arachnids and the Kaituni are at the doorstep to the Heart Worlds, Sol, and Earth: Alpha Centauri. The odds look bleak. But Admiral Ian Trevayne and Commodore Ossian Wethermere have faced down long odds in the past. It’s time to take a stand, for Earth, for humanity . . . and for the pan-Sentient Union!

"Jason Thanou has fought for the continued existence of humanity across the centuries. As a special operations officer of the Temporal Regulatory Authority, he's traveled though time to thwart the Transhumanists genetically and mechanically enhanced beings that seek to destroy humanity and their alien allies, the Teloi. But for all his work, the Transhumanist Underground has never been defeated. In possession of the same time travel technology as the Temporal Regulatory Authority, the Transhumanists have been busy planting time bombs throughout recorded history. Time bombs that are set to go off on The Day, when the secret history the Transhumanists have planted will be revealed, resulting in the overthrow of humanity. Now, Jason Thanou, along with fellow TRA agents Alexandre Mondrago and Father Julian Casinde, must travel through Earth's bloody history to ensure the survival of the human race. They'll find themselves in Italy, two days before the death of Pope John Paul I. Father Casinde has reason to believe that something much more sinister than a simple heart attack is behind the death of the Holy Father. Racing against and through time, Jason and his fellow officers must defeat the Transhumanists and their Teloi allies. Meanwhile, back in Jason's home time of the 24th century, The Day grows ever closer!"--Publisher description
