Conventions of War

This completes my re-read of the original Dread Empire's Fall trilogy. Good story about the disintegration (at least the beginning thereof) of an empire when the despotic power that holds it together disappears.
One thing I like about this series is that Williams doesn't posit any magical advanced technology. With the possible exception of wormholes for interstellar travel, everything is an extension of known science and technology – no FTL drive or communication, no inertial compensators, no newly discovered energy sources. That means, to get around in star systems in any reasonable time, ships (and the people in them) have to endure extended periods of high-G acceleration. That of course applies to space combat too. (Power for all this comes from antimatter, for which practical handling technology has been developed.)
I look forward to more adventures of Lady Sula and Lord Martinez.
