BOOK TWO: THE ARSENAL OF FREEDOM

The Edge of Midnight Book Two: The Arsenal of Freedom covers the tumultuous first seven years of the 2260s, as the United Federation of Planets is locked into the galactic "test of wills" with the increasingly militaristic and authoritarian Klingon Empire. 

Confrontations over trade, brush wars and the principles of free government are entangled with mutual battles for the political soul of each interstellar nation. At stake is not just the balance of power, but the very soul of both Federation and Empire. From the Resource Denial Act and the Acamar Crisis through the Kobax Affair and the rise of Sturka, The Arsenal of Freedom is a concise account of the road to the Four Days' War: and the incredible intervention of the Organians.
