About this ebook

Center of Gravity is the second book in the explosive Star Carrier series by Ian Douglas—and a breathtaking new high in military sf, the strongest of the science fiction subgenres. Battlestar Galactica fans will adore this saga of ultimate war in deep space, as humankind risks its very future, battling a vast alien evil empire in order to achieve transcendence and become a major power in the universe. Douglas’s Center of Gravity belongs on every action-lover’s sf bookshelf—right between Joe Haldeman’s The Forever War and Heinlein’s Starship Troopers.

Ratings and reviews

Wow! I haven't enjoyed a series this much in a while. It's hard hitting sci fi action that's not only exciting, it's believable. Douglas is the Tom Clancy of the 25th century.

Great story. The delivery leaves a little to be desired. He repeats explanations many many times, sometimes back to back.

The torch has been passed from Heinlein, Niven, Pournelle, and others. A fine example of hard, military, SF! I dig it!
