Unholy Compromises: Tales from the Central Imperium
"Jan Kotouc's Central Imperium series is an example of why I wish European science fiction was more accessible to an American audience. This is grand-scale science fiction, with a storyteller's eye for both character and action, that doesn't back away from the essence of moral responsibility and the cost of duty. And how many protagonists finance the defense of human civilization in a poker game?" - David Weber, bestselling author of the Honor Harrington series*****From acclaimed science fiction author Jan Kotouc comes a collection of brand new stories, plus an original novella, all set within his Central Imperium universe.
Since their ascension to the throne, Emperor Daniel Hankeron and his wife Empress Hila Eban have had many adventures. Their latest might be the most controversial yet. So controversial, in fact, that a reporter comes to the palace to get their version of the story. While telling their stories, the reporter soon learns some interesting pieces of lore of the Central Imperium that have never been previously revealed.
Fans of Kotouc's series, as well as readers of science fiction looking to discover a new universe to explore, will all find something to enjoy in this collection of tales.
