Short description
Hegemony is a hard sci-fi space opera. In it you'll find space ships battles, info-warriors, pirates and spies. A routine pirate-hunting mission for the Hegemonic Fleet is not what it seems, and the consequences could put billions of lives at risk.Extended description
The Hegemony of Suns is the greatest of the empires of mankind that have spread out through space from an abandoned and dying Earth. The Hegemony's vast warships dominate the skies over a hundred worlds, protecting its subjects and enforcing its will.The interceptor pilots of the Hegemonic Fleet are the cutting edge of the Hegemony's military might, the tip of the spear. In a split second, they can decide the outcome of a battle that can affect the fates of whole star systems. The life expectancy of an interceptor pilot is measured in minutes. It's debatable if they're still human. It's debatable if they're even alive to begin with.
Alekzandra Neel has attained what she sought; a place among the stars, a chance to be an interceptor pilot of the Hegemonic Fleet. She doesn't expect it to be safe or easy. But as war clouds gather and billions look to the skies with nervous fear, she has no idea what the real cost could be.

this book was a bit slow in a couple of places but worthwhile to stick with. i appriciate that people did the right thing because it was the right thing to do. that concept seems sadly lacking in our culture and is often reflected in literature. a good read.

Really good read, admittedly with some slight niggles of style that a professional editor would have fixed immediately.
A well built and convincing world, good characters and an interesting story. I eagerly await any prospective sequel

Great book in the spirit of most space operas. I found it hard to put down, and it's significantly better than some of the $5 ebooks I've purchased recently.
