One man in the interplanetary council, to find a remedy to a very low birth rate, makes a “coup d’état”. Only, he is not well “surrounded”, he faces another faction of the council, with a planet where technology is no usable anymore, and where everyone must relearn to live… Excellent, and what is more, it is a bit like the situation in the USA.
Prince Roger MacClintock [with David Weber]: (March Upcountry - March to the Sea - March to the Stars - We few) Prince Roger MacClintock: (March Upcountry - March to the Sea - March to the Stars) Qualified of Military SF, this serie speaks of Prince Roger Ramius Sergei Alexander Chiang MacClintock, a real nuisance not raised at all and spoiled, who, because of a terrorist sabotage, finds himself with a space marines company on planet Marduk: mountains, heat, no technology, local people with four arms and easilly in a bad mood…
