Richard Weyand is a prolific writer with six series of books, each one with different backstories, technology and characters. The Empire series is set in the far future when humans have settled half a million planets, organized into star nations. The Sintaran Empire is just one of them, and even though it is an empire, it is respectful of human rights, We are landed in another world, in another time where a new young leader is about to ascend to power. We are launched directly into the action, the dialogue is terse and the tone tense.
