This next world that needs work to get it ready for the new Federation is stuck in a stagnate cycle of empire and civil war, without the marching beat of technical advance.

Raj and the Center, this time working through a local thinker are shaking things up, getting the world moving forward.

This a Greek/Roman based world and military action story, where the introduction of gunpowder is the shaking things up...

Raj and Center (from the first five books in the series) are working in a Punic War setting rapidly ratcheting combatants up to 17th century military technology. The Tyrant appears to be the sequel.

After a terrible first few chapters it picks back up. It's pretty weak overall but it's not awful.
