Hero's Legacy

Heroes of Britannia, Book 1

By: Fred Hughes

Narrated by: Michael Joss

Emperor Hazard is Dead!

When the Teddy Bears ambush the ship carrying Emperor Hazard to a peace conference in the Zenkarr system, Britannia once again finds itself at war.

The Teddy Bears have a plan, but Gathii Kong, now in command of the Imperial Force, doesn’t take the bait. He follows Hazard’s last order to fight smart and foils the Zenkarr Intelligence Minister’s plan to destroy Britannia’s fleet by not charging deeper into the system. But now Kong has the lion by the tail—he can’t follow the enemy fleet into the gravity well, nor can he let them out to terrorize the nearby systems.

Back at Brittania, nine-year-old Edward becomes emperor, with his mother Hiroko acting as empress regent, and what’s left of Team Hazard rallies to support the wife and son of their friend. With the empire at a crossroads, Hiroko orders Julie Adams to the front with simple orders: end the Zenkarr problem. While Julie agrees to the mission, she wonders if she can complete it. To do so, she’ll have to live up to the Hero’s Legacy.
