The Napoleons of Eridanus

The Napoleons of Eridanus

Eridan: Book 1

Pierre Barbet

Supposing your world was an advanced Utopia that had eliminated war so long ago that nobody knew how to conduct a adequate defence. Then suppose your solar system was invaded by a fleet of alien militarists...

This is what happened to a certain planet in the Constellation Eridanus - and what its leaders did was to seek a primitive race that still engaged in warfare.

So they kidnapped a band of experienced soldiers - Napoleonic veterans fleeing Moscow through the snows of that terrible winter of 1812.

Captain Bernard of the Imperial Dragoons took on the task. But being a loyal Bonapartist campaigner, he had ambitions that Utopian aliens could not suspect.

The Napoleons of Eridanus is a surprise-filled romp in transposed history...

The Emperor of Eridanus

The Emperor of Eridanus

Eridan: Book 2

Pierre Barbet

The natives of Eridanus had spaced in veterans of Napoleon's Dragoons to save them from warlike invaders, and the Bonapartists had stayed. In fact, they had followed the tenets of the Little Corporal and had raised their own imperial standards over the conquered stars.
