The Almost Coup

Before Earth was even aware of the outbreak of hostilities with Mars, a political duel between the Emperor and the Prime Minister was dividing our home planet. Dubbed the ‘almost coup' by contemporary media, this clash put the entire Empire at great risk during the opening days of the Martian War… and created divisions that would lead to spectacular political chaos after the conflict. In this second volume of his reminiscences, Admiral the Lord Ken Barron grants readers a unique perspective on this disastrous moment in Imperial political and military history… and explains exactly how he and Karen McMaster harnessed the power of daytime TV to thwart the Emperor's plot.
