Space War: An Empire Divided
The Empire built by Haakon the Great is no more. It's 4124, and the Human race has spread to the stars in four different star clusters by achieving the speed of light and wormholes. A civil war has broken out between the different human enclaves to see who will be the next emperor of humanity.
The Ptolemy and Hadesian Star Nations are invading Elysium, allied with New America from the Alpha Perseis Cluster. Large battles are being fought in star systems between former comrades of the Imperial Fleet. In space, battleships unload their powerful weapons at each other while giant battles mechas fight for control of the ground.
The opportunity is too great for the evil Cybernetic forces in the Caldwell 14 Star Cluster. Having fought – and lost – a terrible war against the Empire two hundred years ago, they are gathering for a return engagement against humanity.
A thousand years ago, Haakon has dreamed and foreseen a terrible time for humanity. The Black Death is coming to consume all, and his Empire will not be there to fight it.

Amazing!
I read some of the 1915 alternate series (no offense, but the titles aren't very inventive; it's always either Blitzkrieg or Alternate, except for this book) and tried this book. It was really good and I love the plot, and also the references (Churchill and Ludendorff, which btw Ludendorff is from the 1915 alt series, also the fact that the Hadesian navy uniform is identical to the Napoleonic era Brunswick Lieb-Bataillon uniform). My only real complaint is the grammar/spelling errors. Again, no offense, but often times the characters' dialogue either has no quotation mark at the end, or none at all. Other than that it's a great book, can't wait for the sequel!!

Another great read
I enjoyed the new direction from Max. Smiled at use of old names from history books.
This will make another series I follow, the Naval WW ll Pacific my favorite.

A good read, hard to put down. Liked how story and characters developed. Interesting concept on how naval battles in the distance future could be fought.
