But the Clan-Lord of the Sten has learned from the defeats human have dealt him, and has his own battle plan.

Prince Roger MacClintock is heading for a ceremonial appearance when his space ship crashes, stranding him and his guardian Royal Marines on a jungle planet held by enemy forces. To survive, they must trek to the planet''s only spaceport, and a spoiled prince must learn to be a man. This is the first volume in a new series by the bestselling author of the Honor Harrington adventures.

SOME DAYS IT JUST DOESN''T PAY TO GET OUT OF YOUR SLEEPING BAG. The successor to March Upcountry It wasn''t so much that Prince Roger and his surviving remnant of elite bodyguards are marooned on a barbarian planet. Or that they have been on continuous operations for so long they are getting shocky. Or that they still have half a planet to cross. Or that they are basically out of ammunition for their plasma and bead rifles and just about out of cash. Sure, those are all problems, but they''re not the real problem. No, the problem is Roger is in love. With one of his bodyguards. And the romance is not going well. Damnbeast Sure. Vampiric moths Okay. Screaming waves of barbarians No problem. But when you have Nimashet Despreaux and Prince Roger Ramius Sergei Chiang MacClintock at sword''s point, that''s real danger. And it''s just the beginning. To get to the distant port that is their only way off the planet, they''ll be forced to battle enraged monsters, displaced mercenaries, religious fanatics and a barbarian horde to shame the Huns. Along the way they''ll have to recreate the Reformation, the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution. And do it all in a context their four-armed, horned, grizzly-bear sized native allies can handle. It will strain all their experience and knowledge, as the most elite, the most multitalented and above all the toughest bodyguards in human space. But the really hard part will be keeping Roger and Nimashet from killing each other. At the publisher''s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

The choice was simple: send forces to fight and die against a ravening horde, or remain virtually weaponless and third in line for servicing. Thanks to raw human valor, Terrans fought the Posleen to a standstill. With the Posleen invasion only months away, only these shell-shocked survivors can save the Earth from devastation.

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE . . . With the Earth in the path of the rapacious Posleen, the peaceful and friendly races of the Galactic Federation offer their resources to help the backward Terrans¾for a price. Humanity now has three worlds to defend. As Earth''s armies rush into battle and special operations units scout alien worlds, the humans begin to learn a valuable lesson: You can protect yourself from your enemies, but may the Lord save you from your allies.
