So the Alignment engineered a war between the Solarian League, the biggest and most formidable interstellar power in human history. To help push things along, the Alignment launched a devastating sneak attack which destroyed the Royal Manticoran Navy's industrial infrastructure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e And in order to undercut Manticore's galaxy-wide reputation as a star nation of its word, it launched Operation Janus--a false-flag covert operation to encourage rebellions it knows will fail by promising \u003ci\u003eManticoran\u003c\/i\u003e support. The twin purposes are to harden Solarian determination to destroy the Star Empire once and for all, and to devastate the Star Empire's reputation with the rest of the galaxy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But even the best laid plans can have unintended consequences, and one of those consequences in this case may just be a new dawn of freedom for oppressed star nations everywhere.","brand":"Baen (Author: Weber, David)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50118406865253,"sku":"9781668072981","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/0538\/5573\/files\/imageloader_cb843bde-087c-4df5-a662-ace097e4cd16.jpg?v=1770204218","url":"https:\/\/paralleluniversebooks.com\/products\/9781668072981","provider":"Parallel Universe Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
