The Dragon's Nine Sons

The Dragon's Nine Sons is an amazingly, artistic novel has been put together very well. It is set in an alternate time line of our own. In this time line China has conquered the earth and many things that we know never happened (most significant Spain never landing in Mexico and the Aztec still in control of that domain as of 2052).

The book is based in the year 2052 of this alternate time line. When the Middle Kingdom (Chinese Empire) has started to terra-form Mars (known as Fire Star) and the Aztec (Mexica) have started their second war with the Middle Kingdom. This is quite a great setting for any novel but this one goes farther. The main characters of this novel are all fugitives. Who have only one shot to get their records cleared: Live through a suicide mission.

There mission is to go to the a Mexica stronhold with a captured Mexica ship and destroy it with massive bombs.

To find out more than that you'll have to read the book yourself. It is well worth it: It has a very well put together world and society, Every aspect is very thought out and outlined, The people are interesting and engaging, and the story is very well written and holds up a standard of science fiction that has not been seen for a while.
