Description
Clerambault is a minor poet in pre-World War I France and a believer in European integration and the impossibility of war. But when war is declared, he is swept up in the surrounding nationalism and militarism—though he maintains a sense of discomfort and recognition that his opinions have changed. It’s only when tragedy befalls his family that he’s forced to belatedly recognize his complicity in the war and the ruin it has caused. He commits himself to speaking out against the war, but this doesn’t make him any friends. He’s condemned as a traitor—even by his former friends and colleagues.
Despite the public and private rejections, Clerambault continues to dedicate his time and literary skills to exposing the crimes being...

Mired in greed and corruption, tangled in bureaucracy, the Galactic Republic is crumbling. In the outlying systems, where the Trade Federation maintains a stranglehold on shipping routes, tensions are boiling over — while back in the comfort of Coruscant, the hub of civilized space and seat of Republic government, few senators seem inclined to investigate the problem. And those who suspect Supreme Chancellor Valorum of having a hand in the machinations are baffled — especially when Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi foil an assassination attempt on the Chancellor.
With the crisis escalating, Valorum calls for an emergency trade summit. As Humans and aliens gather, conspiracies sealed with large sums of money run rampant, and no one is entirely above...
