Into the Maelstrom

In "Cutter Stream," the second entry in the Citizen series by Dr. John Lambshead and David Drake, former soldier Allen Allenson takes on the daunting task of leading the colonial army as war looms over the peaceful Cutter Stream colonies. Despite his deep-seated aversion to conflict, Allenson's unique understanding of his fellow colonists positions him as their best hope against the oppressive government of a distant homeworld. As he grapples with the challenges of leadership and his past, Allenson is determined to free the colonies or perish in the attempt, refusing to give in to despair.
