“PULSE-POUDNING MILITARY SCIENCE FICTION
FROM A NEW MASTER OF THE GENRE.”– WILLIAM C. DIETZ, BESTSELLING AUTHOR
OF ANDROMEDA’S FALL
VIRTUES OF WAR
BY BENNETT R. COLES
Lieutenant Katja Emmes is assigned to the fast-attack
craft Rapier, joining a mission to
investigate weapons smuggling activity between the Terran colonies of Sirius
and Centuaria. If true, this act of rebellion could escalate rapidly, and lead
to all-out war.
When combat does erupt, its ferocity stuns the Terran
forces, and pushes them to their limits. It tests the abilities of Lieutenant
Emmes, as well, along with Sublieutenant Jack Mallory and Lieutenant Commander
Thomas Kane, commanding officer of the Rapier.
But failure is not acceptable. They must defeat the enemy…by whatever means
necessary.
Set in a time where mankind has expanded
out to the stars, then splintered into rival political factions, Virtues of
War is a military science fiction novel that reveals traits common in any
age, and looks at the heart of what makes us human.
Bennett Coles served 15 years in the Canadian Navy as a bridge
officer, boarding party officer, warfare officer, and navigator, and served a
pair of tours in the Middle East as a UN military observer. He brings his naval
service to bear in crafting a realistic picture of warfare in the future. As a
rising new author, he has led the maverick publisher Promontory Press, supporting Canadian and American writers. Coles lives in Victoria, B.C. and is
available for interviews.

subversion. For anyone in the hunt for
top-notch military SF, Virtues of War delivers." — Steven Erickson, author
of Gardens of the Moon
“…Nonstop action, swift pacing, and near-constant
tension. Drops from space through planetary atmosphere are vicarious thrill
rides that get the reader’s heart pumping, and battle scenes are wrought with
