Hazard King was ready to get back to a normal life… Well, as normal a life as the next emperor of the Brittania Empire could expect, anyway. Hazard wanted to continue his naval career—to grow and take on positions of higher responsibility—because he knew the Swarm would be back, and he intended to be there to fight them when they returned. He had learned how to delegate, though, and while he was training, the rest of Team Hazard was tasked with eliminating the Marxist spy network, which they had discovered was mostly made up of rogue Imperial spies.

The interstellar Kingdom of Adamant's civil war is over. Nikola Adamant is free to live his life once more. But duty never ends, returning him to duty in the Kingdom's army—and a new task, as his sister the King's voice beyond their home system!

Hazard King had always wanted to be an Imperial Fleet officer, just like his father. But he’s a Prince of the Realm, which make things a bit more… complicated. And when Hazard’s parents tell him that they don’t trust his older brother and want Hazard to be the Crown Prince—the heir to the throne—things go from bad to worse. Just when it seems they can’t get any worse, the Empress is attacked.

Hazard had promised his mother that he would return and accept the crown. He just needed one last trip to the front to re-organize the Sol Fleet, then he would return home to rule. When he arrived, though, he found himself in the middle of a battle.

Afterwards, Basil Castellan was always certain that it had all begun the day he'd been rescued by the dragon. Oh, it hadn't been a real dragon, of course, or so he hastily assured everyone to whom he told the story. Only...it had been a real dragon....The Empire had preserved peace and order throughout human-inhabited space, but it had grown weak with the passing of the centuries, and now the self styled New Humans were rising in open rebellion, striving to seize control and impose their fanatical grand design on all humans everywhere. 

Hazard King, AKA Prince Henry, was a prince with a problem. Oh sure, he’d defeated the Mordorians in the Sol System and had landed his Marines on earth. His landing parties had even found samples of the original virus used to develop Black Dragon, which—hopefully—could be used to develop an antidote, so the main objective of his mission had been fulfilled.

Prince Roland was on the verge of winning the war. Assigned to New Doncaster to train the planet’s armies and lead them into battle, Roland brokered a political compromise that allowed the government to win hearts and minds once the rebels were defeated in the field. He then built a formidable military machine that could–and did–push the rebels to the brink of defeat. But Roland’s success bred hatred, and his enemies, seeing him and his loyal troops out on a limb, launched a coup and left Roland stranded deep in enemy territory.

Alleine und ohne Angst...Die ehemalige Erdkolonie Serenity ist vor der Mordorian Horde sicher... für den Moment. Hazard Kings Expeditionsstreitkräfte, angeschlagen und zerschunden, halten Wache und schützen das System. Aber um seine ursprüngliche Mission zu erfüllen - zur Erde zu gelangen und die Informationen über den Schwarzen Drachen zu erhalten, die er zur Rettung des Königreichs benötigt - braucht Hazard Verstärkung. Seine Mutter, Kaiserin Elizabeth, ist bereit, diese Hilfe zu organisieren, aber es wird Zeit brauchen.

Nun, so normal, wie es der nächste Imperator des Imperiums von Brittania erwarten konnte, jedenfalls. Hazard wollte seine Marinekarriere fortsetzen - sich weiterentwickeln und verantwortungsvollere Positionen einnehmen - denn er wusste, dass der Schwarm zurückkehren würde, und er hatte die Absicht, sie zu bekämpfen, sobald sie zurückkehrten.

Aber er ist ein Prinz des Reiches, was die Dinge ein wenig... komplizierter macht. Und als Hazards Eltern ihm sagen, dass sie seinem älteren Bruder nicht trauen und Hazard zum Kronprinzen - dem Thronfolger - machen wollen, wird es noch schlimmer.

Kapitän Hazard King erwacht aus dem Kryoschlaf, nachdem er die Schlacht im Tarrant-System nur knapp überlebt hat, und beginnt mit der Wiederherstellung der zerstörten imperialen Flotte, doch die Schwarmkräfte wittern Blut und drängen auf den Sieg, indem sie eine Angriffsflotte zum Flottenstützpunkt Icarus schicken. In der Vergangenheit hatte das Imperium zehn Jahre Zeit zwischen den Angriffen. Dieses Mal werden es nur zwei sein.

Hazard King ist es endlich gelungen, den Frieden mit dem Schwarm zu gewinnen, die marxistische Föderation zu stabilisieren und eine neue, demokratischere Regierung auf Lenin zu schaffen. Der Virus des Schwarzen Drachen tötet dort jedoch weiterhin Tausende, und die imperialen Wissenschaftler haben schließlich zugegeben, dass sie kein Gegenmittel finden können. Schlimmer noch: Es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis das Virus den Planeten verlässt, was mit Sicherheit Milliarden von Menschenleben fordern und das Imperium zu Fall bringen wird.

Das Imperium besiegte den Schwarm in der Schlacht von Iris, aber der Preis dafür war hoch. Um zu gewinnen, musste Hazard King sich als Kronprinz Henry zu erkennen geben und als Kriegsführer das Kommando über die kaiserliche Flotte übernehmen. Jetzt bittet der Feind um Frieden, den viele im Imperium nicht wollen.

Ever since an attempt on his life marooned him with his bodyguards on the hostile planet Marduk, with its unending series of threats, obstacles, and adventures, Prince Roger McClintock has evolved from a spoiled, petulant heir into a true leader of humans and aliens alike.
