Return once again to the military scifi Glory Game story universe described in Steele’s Hammer, Steele’s Demon Star and Steele’s War. The Power Gambit is a story that takes place before wormholes were discovered and before the Stellar Alliance came into existence. Humanity is still expanding using the ether-tunnel FTL drive, and interstellar companies known as transstellars dominate trade between colonies. Conflict sometimes breaks out; between colonies, between a colony and a transtellar and even between transtellars, who have their own ‘ghost’ squadrons of armed spaceships. With no police force to keep the peace in interstellar space, anything can happen at any time, and the strongest usually prevail. This action-packed story isn’t limited to tense space battles and includes financial and political intrigue that can be just as dangerous. Sub-genre categories for this book are; space opera, galactic empires and military SF.
