Stratton
by Edita A. Petrick
BARGAIN
Science Fiction
Rating: 4.0
To an enemy with an impressive lifespan, one failed campaign is not an obstacle. It is a challenge.
It took millennia for Earth to join the galactic community. Some thought the long wait was worth it. Some thought…otherwise. And while the Earth did get to wear a name-tag of “Core” world, the title was more ornamental than functional. After all, the Confederation Alliance of Planets and Star Systems was already six-thousand years old when Earth finally climbed on board.
To Karin, Shakespeare’s plays are classics, twelve-thousand years old. To Kitaya, the Rimworlder with Caritan roots, they’re incomprehensible collection of metaphors. To Alvin, the prototype AI who runs the STRATTON Space Post, they’re simply an infrequently retrieved data collection he stores in his vast memory… #ad
