God Save the King
The Throne of Caledon - Book 2
A New Book by
Ward Wagher
The crown was never supposed to be his. Now enemies threaten to take it—and everything he loves.
King Anson the First thought the hard part was over. After reluctantly accepting the restored throne of Caledon and surviving an assassination attempt, he's working to build a functional government alongside Prime Minister Karen Pavletic. But in the treacherous landscape of interstellar politics, peace is an illusion.
When Caledonian merchant ships begin disappearing in the Tetrarch sector, Anson must send his fledgling navy into harm's way. Before the crisis can be resolved, disaster strikes closer to home: a devastating bombing at Blenheim Palace, followed by the unthinkable—the kidnapping of his pregnant wife, Queen Stephanie.
As Anson races against time to rescue Stephanie and their newborn child, he discovers a conspiracy reaching far beyond Caledon's borders. With the Centauran Empire fracturing and the shadowy Cryotech corporation pulling strings from across the stars, the young king must make impossible choices. How far will he go to protect his family and kingdom? And what happens when the rule of law conflicts with the demands of justice?
Aided by his enigmatic Hedge Dog advisors and a security team pushed to its limits, Anson faces his greatest test yet. Because in the deadly game of interstellar politics, the price of failure isn't just a crown—it's measured in the lives of everyone he holds dear.
A gripping blend of political intrigue and military science fiction, perfect for fans of David Weber and Lois McMaster Bujold.

Principles of Christian Science-Fiction
The goal of Christian Science-Fiction is to create an exciting story in the speculative realm and also honor Christ the Lord. In order to achieve this goal we observe the following basic principles:
- 1. Any references to the Christian faith, and doctrine shall be compatible with the Bible.
- 2. While conflicting philosophies may be presented, ultimately the story shall support what is commonly known as the Christian World-view.
- 3. Gratuitous and graphic violence shall be avoided.
- 4. Explicit sexual content shall be avoided, and sex within the context of monogamous marriage shall be presented as the ideal.
- 5. Language that includes swearing, explicit vulgarity, and general coarseness shall be avoided.
In general, the text should be designed so that the author will not be embarrassed to have the book read by church members / spouses / children.
