Lessons of War
eBook 정보
As a boy, Ian Hadrian used to look up at the night sky and dream of commanding a starship.
As a man, he’s one of the Interstellar Compact Navy’s youngest battlecruiser captains—but dreams rarely match reality. His command, the Belisarius, is a star-leaping stallion leashed to a solitary and remote sun, watching over a long-suffering world the enigmatic Ciphers abandoned after the Great War.
Far from straining at his leash, Hadrian has come to accept his posting, even at times to enjoy it—perhaps because the heroic official record behind his rapid promotion to captain hides a much darker truth.
Whatever Sorăna Mirra’s childhood dreams were, she’s long since forgotten them. Twenty-five years as a marine will do that.
Mirra commands a team of marine special operators, hand-picked to fight humanity's oldest foe—the Kyrans. Time and again they defeat the vicious saurians, knowing they'll get no credit for their victories.
Hadrian and Mirra are separated by half a galaxy, by service, and by a lifetime’s experiences. But when each of them is targeted in ruthless attacks, their hunt for answers sets them on a collision course. Their clash will decide the fate of an entire world—and reveal a shadowy new enemy that humanity and its allies are not prepared to fight.

저자 정보
Dylan has been writing science fiction stories since he was old enough to write. He’s been writing original science fiction stories—discounting admittedly awesome, fully illustrated Star Trek and Star Wars fan fiction—since he was twelve.
Other than sci-fi and storytelling, Dylan loves history (which is just another form of storytelling, if you think about it). He has a master’s degree in international relations and conflict, and to this day spends as much time reading history as anything else.
When not reading or writing, Dylan enjoys spending time with his lovely wife, Victoria, and their son William, particularly watching yet more stories, from brilliant favorites like Battlestar Galactica and The Expanse, to joyously terrible films like Miami Connection and Samurai Cop. Of course, at a few months old William is too young to watch these himself, but he does make very approving noises when Dylan explains the plots to him.
Finally, Dylan enjoys walking his dog, El Doggo (the fabled Goodest Boy), shooting sports, and like all good children of the 90s, video games. He’s played more hours of modded XCOM 2 than some babies have been alive.
He also has a Lord of the Rings tattoo, which in a way tells you everything else you need to know.
