內容簡介

內容簡介 AN ELITE WARRIOR IN A LINE STRETCHING TO THE U.S. MARINES OF OLD EARTH IS BORN AND COMES INTO HER POWER IN A CLASSIC TALE OF HEROISM AND ADVENTURE BY MULTIPLE NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER DAVID WEBER, CREATOR OF THE HONOR HARRINGTON SAGA! UNLEASH THE FURY! Zhikotse. Shallingsport. Louvain. Sacred fields of battle on far-flung worlds where warriors of the Imperial Cadre spent blood and lives defending human civilization. Alicia DeVries was there; she led the charge. Her reward? Betrayal by a deceitful empire. Retirement to obscurity. Now Alicia is the only survivor of a brutal attack on her frontier-world family. Not since the mighty Achilles has the ancient spirit of the Fury Tisiphone taken up residence inside a human being. But not since Achilles has a warrior so skilled, so implacable, and possessing so much battle sense sprung up among the mass of humankind. Hero of the Empire. Holder of the Banner of Terra. There is a blood price to be paid. The Fury has awakened. Praise for In Fury Born: "Fans of Weber's work--or any who like big-picture space adventure--will enjoy this expanded version of Path of the Fury. Alicia DeVries has many similarities to Weber's more famous heroine, Honor Harrington, but her own conflicts and crises are quite different." --SF Revue Strongly recommended. Praise for David Weber: "[A] balanced mix of interstellar intrigue, counterespionage, and epic fleet action . . . with all the hard- and software details and tactical proficiency that Weber delivers like no one else; along with a large cast of well-developed, believable characters, giving each clash of fleets emotional weight." --Booklist "[M]oves . . . as inexorably as the Star Kingdom's Grand Fleet, commanded by series protagonist Honor Harrington. . . .
