They gained their freedom.And lost everything.
Jared, Sahara, and their friends destroyed the Dragon-Lords and ended their reign of terror, but not before the Dragon-Lords exiled the people of Albadir into the void of space on a disabled ship. Determined to find their people and bring them home, they gamble everything on a desperate rescue operation.
But nothing can prepare them for the deadly truth. As they track the ship across the system, from the prison moon K’ilenfir to Brytnoth’s Askalon, they discover the price of their victory over the Dragon-Lords. For a new tyranny has risen from the ashes of the Dragon-Lords' rule — a ruthless paramilitary gang of drug lords and slave dealers headed by a group called the Triumvirate, which is now poised to decimate anyone and any world that stands in the way of their quest for power.

on Dec. 30, 2012 :
This is such a fantastic sequel! Lords of Askalon is a darker, grittier story than Book 1, a study of human nature at its best and at its worst...and it's one heck of a wild ride. I loved the development of Sahara's character -- watching her grow and struggle and fall and try again to find her way in life. She is tough and vulnerable and passionate and broken, but struggling to find her identity and to overcome the ghosts of her past. We learn so much more about Jared and their friends, and meet some fascinating new enemies and allies along the way. And oh, do we visit some incredible worlds. Everything is so richly imagined and so unique...and I loved getting some more of the back story about why the worlds are the way they are. Nothing is ever as easy as it seems, and what started out as a simple enough plan quickly spirals out of control, as Sahara and crew discover just what happened in the aftermath of their rather Pyrrhic victory on Silesia.
I'm already dying to know what will happen in the next book!
