The Braxana - dominant tribe of the fierce Braxin Holding - are brilliant, powerful, and allof from the society they rule. They were bred by their primitive forebears to be aggressive, competitive, and secretive beyond all prior human norms. The mysteries of their internal society are legendary even among the people they rule. The Azeans - masters of genetic science - have redesigned their own race to reflect ancient ideals. Now they seek to unlock the powers of the human mind, using telepathy to penetrate where mere weapons cannot. But Zatar and Anzha - master Braxana and Azean generals - have exceeded all genetic expectations of their opposed cultures, and have made this endless war a personal vendetta. Who can say what will happen when these ultimate warriors use every power of mind and body to claim the vengeance of total conquest? 1185104 1986 In Conquest Born (Fifteenth Anniversary Edition) total:348|5:87|4:123|3:108|2:23|1:7| 348 1304 475 31 5 2 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Fri Jan 25 05:11:45 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 25 06:29:06 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 09:35:09 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 12:44:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Oct 12 04:44:21 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 04:44:45 -0700 2009
