Virtues of War offers a glimpse of humanity's possible future, of our expansion into space and the cultural and emotional baggage that we  will take with us. Within an action-packed, high-tech setting with cutting  edge science and fantastic worldscapes, this sci fi novel explores  the effects of physical and psychological warfare and the ways in which  realistic, human characters react to them.

Lieutenant Katja Emmes is a platoon commander who was transferred last-minute to be the leader of the 10-trooper strike team carried aboard  the fast-attack craft Rapier.  Sublieutenant Jack Mallory is fresh out of pilot  school, reluctantly doing his duty in the mysterious world of extra-dimensional  warfare while pining for the glamour of a fighter pilot position.  Lieutenant Commander Thomas Kane is poised for promotion, and  he knows that this six-month deployment in command of Rapier is the  single, best chance to secure his rise to stardom within the Astral Force.

Set far enough in the future to present a society that has evolved and splintered from our own, Virtues of War is a sci fi novel that reveals the  traits common in any age, and ultimately looks at the heart of what  makes us human.

    A book you can't put down!
    Virtues of War is a sci-fi novel that follows the lives of fleet officers of the Terran Astral Force. The strength of Virtues of War is in the character development. Rather than a novel about the glory of battle, Virtues of War digs deep and focuses on the impact that war has on the characters. It is through these characters that the reader begins to fully understand the severe impact that carrying out commands can have on soldiers and the impact that ordering commands can have on their superiors. After getting to know each of the characters in Virtues of War, I had trouble putting the book down. Whether you are a sci-fi fan or not, Virtues of War is a great read.
