By Iron and Blood

Interplanetary War on an epic scale. War that has raged for years, using the most modern of warships, the latest in artificial intelligences and virtual reality networks. The Arcadian Royal Sovereign Fleet fighting for survival against the Valkan Imperial Battle Fleet. One of the rare tactical officers, young Lt. Chris Updyke of the Royal Navy is an outsider from the planet Sagan. He not only has to overcome pejorative discrimination by his fellow officers, but he must fight the enemy in order to survive. Fleet Admiral Jarret Claymore reluctantly decides to use a desperate gamble to short-cut the war, risking Updyke and the entire Sovereign Fleet in an effort to save Arcadia from a cunning sneak attack by the Valkans. The tactic probably won’t work. If not, then the Royal Navy won’t survive. And Arcadia will be forced to surrender, to submit to Valkan’s totalitarianism. By Iron and Blood is an exciting fleet sci-fi novel by Glenn Michaels, author of the Engineer and the Genie series.
