"The dynamic duo of Weber and Ringo continue Prince Roger McClintock's adventures, which are
coming to constitute a military SF classic."--Booklist

"Parallels with Prince Hal in Henry IV are probably intentional, adding a certain gravitas to the many exceptionally
well-done battle scenes.readers can look forward to seeing how the authors will retell Henry V. It should be one
hell of a St. Crispin's Day."--Publishers Weekly

Ever since an attempt on his life marooned him with his bodyguards on the hostile planet Marduk, with its unending
series of threats, obstacles, and adventures, Prince Roger McClintock has evolved from a spoiled, petulant heir into
a true leader of humans and aliens alike.

This third edition to the Prince Roger Series takes the Bronze Barbarians across the Eastern Ocean of Marduk, facing
giant sea monsters, pirates, and the barbarian nations that dwell on the other side. Their destination is a spaceport
held by humans of questionable loyalties. As Roger comes nearer to making his way home, he learns that his
attempted assassination was part of a larger plot. Not all is as it seems on Earth or on Marduk. Fortunately, he's
got the Bronze Barbarians and the Basik's Own at his back.
