The Kalif's War


A HOLY CRUSADE AGAINST
THE WORLDS OF THE REGIMENT!

The White Regiment had driven back the soldiers of the Karghanik Empire, but the Kalif was certain he could succeed in bringing the true faith of the Prophet of Kargh to the Confederation—even if he had to bombard the infidels' planets with nuclear weapons to do it!

His plan began with the construction of a huge invasion fleet of spaceships. But before he could invade other worlds, he would have to thwart a conspiracy in his own ranks that was planning to replace him with a more tractable figurehead . . .

Intrigue and adventure in the universe of The Regiment and The White Regiment!
