From author, Xavier Leggett, comes the hard-hitting science fiction novel, The Blood of the Empire.

Rook, who hones his field craft on a knife's edge-From devastated desert worlds, to the cramped cockpits of space superiority fighters vying for control of the heavens, to a frozen hell where death waits around every corner, The Blood of the Empire, puts you at the heart of the action.
