Sinossi

The complete trilogy in one volume: Tech-savvy resistance fighters battle a twenty-first-century fascist takeover that threatens the entire planet—and beyond . . .   In the near future, Russia invades Western Europe, crisis envelops the United States—and a mercenary army overseen by power-hungry theocrats and authoritarians takes advantage of the chaos. But a band of resistance fighters, technologically skilled and as dedicated to freedom as they are to sex, drugs, and rock and roll, intend to do what needs to be done to save humanity from mass-scale genocide—including those humans living in the world’s first orbiting space colony . . .  This volume includes Eclipse, Eclipse: Penumbra, and Eclipse: Corona  Praise for The Eclipse Trilogy   “[An] apocalyptic, pop-inflected, rock-driven vision.” —William Gibson, New York Times–bestselling author of Neuromancer   “Hard to put down.” —The Washington Post   “John Shirley’s prophet-in-the-cyberwilderness voice deserves high billing among the best.” —Roger Zelazny, Nebula Award-winning author of Nine Princes in Amber   “A Goya-esque vision of war-torn western Europe, bombed out and unstable . . . from a resurgence of Russian militarism and the collapse of NATO.” —Publishers Weekly   “A kaleidoscopic mix of politics, pop, and paranoia.” —Bruce Sterling, author of Heavy Weather   “Chillingly plausible.” —Kirkus Reviews

    In this thrilling prequel to The Deed of Paksennarion, Elizabeth Moon transports readers once again to a world of magic, mystery, and mighty deeds as one low-born man rises to lead his people to freedom.
    Born to a desperately poor but proud family, young Gird knows that if you want to keep anything in this world, you have to fight for it. It is this bold demeanor and fighting spirit that catches the eye of the local lord's stewards—and earns Gird a chance to join the soldier's ranks.
    Starting as a scullery boy, Gird is exposed to a world previously unknown as he learns to fight, serve, and behave like a true soldier—and a true man as he learns about life, love, magic, and the myriad of gods. But he also learns too soon of the brutality of those he serves—the ruling elite who see the people as cattle to be slaughtered on a whim. Or worse. And that is something Gird will not suffer for long.
    For it is Gird's ultimate destiny to fight not for his masters, nor for himself, but for the people. Driven by courage and compassion, wrath and revenge, passion and pain, Gird's battle for freedom will change the land forever, show the people that they can cast off their oppression, and forge his name in legend forever…
    Praise for the Legacy of Gird books:
    "A massive and brilliant book, with Moon's unsurpassed military and historical expertise very much to the fore. Close behind it is her concern with ethics, which elevates her characterization as far above the fantasy average as her worldbuilding […] a model of how to write historically informed fantasy." — Chicago Sun Times
    "A detailed look into a fantasy medieval culture as seen from the peasant's point of view […] A wonderful prequel and lead into the author's trilogy, The Deed of Paksenarrion." — VOYA
    "Fans of The Deed of Paksenarrion have been waiting for this book, but newcomers to Moon's vision should not fear jumping right in […] I don't think you'll be disappointed." — Quantum
