People who had known godlike power, to whom hunger and pain were completely unknown, desperately scrabbled to survive. As the United Free States, the bastion of freedom and center of opposition to the tyrants of New Destiny, prepared for the long-feared invasion by the Changed legions of Ropasa, Edmund Talbot realized that bureaucratic ineptitude and overconfidence was setting the USF naval forces of ships and dragons up for a disastrous defeat at sea. His fears came true, and the destruction of the fleet seemingly left the UFS open for a full scale invasion. But Talbot had new concepts and strategies ready to put into effect, along with new technical innovations from his brilliant engineer. He survived an assassination attempt and quickly assembled a formidable land force combining cavalry, longbowmen, Roman style legions, and dragons for airborne assault. The fascist forces of New Destiny thought that their war was all but concluded, and world domination within their grasp. Edmund Talbot was ready to show them just how wrong they were. . . .<P> 516105 2005 Against the Tide (The Council Wars, #3) total:206|5:54|4:87|3:50|2:12|1:3| 206 795 258 7 4 1 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 13 07:40:42 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 13 07:43:12 -0700 2009

Check out scene where Navy Seals deploy on a beach to extract a spy (but they are real sentient seals!).
