Roger Ramius Sergei Chiang MacClintock was young, handsome, athletic, an excellent dresser, and
third in line for the Throne of Man. So it wasn't surprising that he became spoiled, self-centered, and
petulant. After all, what else did he have to do with his life?

But that was before his mother, the empress, packed him off to a backwater planet and he found himself
shipwrecked on the planet Marduk, with jungles full of damnbeasts, killerpillars, carnivorous plants, and
barbarian hordes of bad disposition. Fortunately, Roger had an ace in the hole: Bravo Company of Bronze
Battalion of the Empress's Own Regiment. Now all Roger has to do is hike halfway around the planet,
capture a spaceport from the Bad Guys, commandeer a starship, and go home.
