The Praxis by Walter Jon Williams

A sweeping military science fiction epic

Very good condition with minor wear and creasing to the cover and edges. The back cover and some pages are bent, as shown in the photos.

For thousands of years, the Shaa have ruled a vast interstellar empire through strict hierarchy and an unyielding code called the Praxis. As the last of their kind prepares to die, ambitious species within the empire sense an opportunity and the established order begins to fracture. Two gifted officers from very different backgrounds are drawn into political intrigue, military conflict and a struggle that may reshape civilisation itself. Walter Jon Williams launches the Dread Empire’s Fall series with grand-scale space warfare, complex loyalties and a compelling clash between tradition and change.
