Excellent book

This is a combination of two excellent classic sci-fi books from one of my favorite authors. You’ve got to read this to understand the awesomeness of classic sci-fi!

Outstanding Prequel to the Rissa Kerguelen series

We first met Bran Tregare in the Rissa Kerguelen trilogy ("Young Rissa," "Rissa and Tregare," and "The Long View"). Here we learn of Bran's youth and forming by UET. This book can be read independently of the other books with no trouble ... but re-read it after you read the Rissa saga and you have much more insight into the storyline and where it will eventually go. Its also good to know that Bran's story doesn't end with "Star Rebel" and "Rebel's Quest."

Rebel Dynasty is the BEST

If you love early Heinlein and you you like your SF mixed with a little real physics you have got to try these books. They are grittier and more true to life than early Heilein and far more violent than anything but Starship Troopers, but the violence moves the plot and is for a reason. These books are for adults (though the sex when there is any is far less detailed than the adverage bodice ripper) due to the graphic nature of the violence and the adult situtation. This is my favorite SF series and my favorite SF character. The author takes Heinlein-like grasp of physics and then places it in a real and gritty setting. The results are a modern classic.
