A Kirov Series Special Edition!
Available Now on Amazon!
Kirov has gone to many grim futures, but this one was
one of the most dangerous. After preying on the Imperial Japanese Navy in WWII
on many occasions, Karpov finds a pleasure cruise for the ship and crew runs
afoul of turbulent weather, and they are marooned in Limbo after they are
grounded by a massive Typhoon. Soon they are found by old enemies, made far
more dangerous by the modern ships and weapons they now command. It is an enemy
they have faced and fought before, the product of a twisted history that has
spun off a new altered Meridian. Was Ivan Volkov responsible for this future?
Though Volkov is dead, Kirov must now face and fight the new dominant
Pacific power in the year 2030, not China, but a rejuvenated Imperial Japanese
Empire that has risen from the ashes of WWII like a dark Phoenix.
The Empire has but one weakness, its center is unformed and
the young Emperor in waiting has no real power. Instead the Empire is ruled by
quarreling Daimyos who serve as Regents and command powerful fleets.
While planning to begin new conquests, they remain bitter rivals, each
maneuvering to gain face and force to propel them to the coveted rank of Shogun, a military dictator who will seize
the reins of power and unite all the warring Clans.
One among them, Odo Nobunaga, has discovered a most unusual
ship aground within his Regency, and he soon learns the secret of their
tremendous power. As Odo maneuvers to gain possession of the the Kamenski
Device, Fedorov and Karpov must negotiate with the Japanese to secure safe
passage home to Petropavlovsk. But Mother Time has other plans for the ship and
crew, and sets her mind on ending its offensive voyages once and for all. This
brings Kirov to a fateful hour that no one aboard ever thought they
would face.
This Kirov Series special Edition (Series Volume #67) is a stand alone novel focused on the ship and crew.
