"A New York Public Library recommended book for young readers."--P. [4] of cover.

It''s been 20 years since the defeat of the alien Hordes, and the human Republic has been exploring and taming its new home. Lieutenant Michael O''Brien, pilot aboard the Republic Navy cruiser "Gettysburg", stumbles upon a fierce naval battle between warring factions of the Kazan -- cousins to the Hordes. O''Brien is captured, but refuses to divulge anything to the Kazan''s high priest.

Risking everything to follow his dream of reaching for the stars, Justin Bell struggles to cope with Martian colonists demanding freedom from the paternalistic Earth government, while dealing with hostile aliens out to destroy all human civilization.

It has been 10 years since a group of American Civil War soldiers was swept away from the battlefields of Earth to a distant world--where the only place for a human is as a slave to an alien race. But even though they are far from home, the members of the Union 35th Main regiment still embody the radical ideas of democracy and freedom--and they''re willing to lay down their lives rather than sound retreat!

This latest release in the Wing Commander series, The Price of Freedom features live action segments with movie stars Mark Hamill, Malcolm McDowell and John Rhys-Davies, and has already been a Net sensation featured in Newsweek.

ALEXANDER THE GREAT. NAPOLEON. THE 47 RONIN. LONG DEAD, BUT THE FUTURE STILL RIDES ON THEIR SUCCESSES AT WAR! First there was war, then there were wargames, growing more and more realistic until the games themselves surpassed war as mankind''s most popular sport. But with no blood, guts, or glory, boredom began to set in and strategy lost its edge. Something was needed to bring fresh excitement to an old, old game. And so the past was mined for the greatest warriors and generals history had to offer: Napoleon, Alexander, the forty-seven Ronin, assassins from ancient Persia--all brilliant at either combat or at tactics and strategy. It was just a game--until mock war turned real on an unimaginable scale, and only those legendary warriors could turn the tide...
