Science fiction has often served as a vehicle to explore aspects of the human condition. Including ones that are not comfortable to look at.
Which is where we find Iraq War veteran turned author Richard Fox, who, in the following email interview about his military sci-fi space opera novel Men Of Bretton (hardcover, Kindle), says he, “…wanted to write a series that shows how soldiers change during the course of a war and how hard it can be to get home.”
In 2006, author David Weber published a revised and expanded version of his 1992 military science fiction novel Path Of The Fury, which he retitled In Fury Born.
Well, now he’s adding more to the story with the Ascent To Empire novels, a prequel series he’s co-writing with fellow sci-fi author Richard Fox.
In the following email interview, Weber and Fox talk about the newly released second installment of the Ascent To Empire series, Rebel (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook), as well as the first, Governor, which has also just come out in trade paperback.
