Publisher's Synopsis
Collected in this compendium are tales set in the dystopian Commonwealth of Planets universe, at a time when Humanity is still recovering from the ecological cataclysms that nearly ended life on Earth, and when human civilization is but barely done colonizing the Solar System
The Commonwealth of Planets is a political institution uniting Earth, the Core Planets and the Colonies of the Jovian and Trans-Neptunian regions. It's advertised as a banner under which Humanity may rally to face the threat of extinction. However, behind this florid image stands the brutal Tudor Regime, governing Earth with an iron fist, to try to dictate the future of Humanity. Leading this dictatorship for nearly than two centuries is the greatest telepath mankind has ever known. Loved by millions, hated by billions, the enigmatic Aeneas Tudor has doubtlessly changed the fate of humankind to rescue it from its own folly, but he has done so with no small measure of ruthlessness. Whether he is a hero or a tyrant is something open to your interpretation, but the fact remains that the oldest man alive will not willingly yield to the whims of the people, nor will he surrender his hold on power. VOICES FROM THE SOLAR EMPIRE delivers on epic battles, political intrigue, societal clashes and plenty of classic Sci-Fi action and adventure. Super-science, space exploration, alien worlds, genetic engineering and much, much more await your fancy to take form, as we dare to dream together what the future evolution of humankind may bring us.
