DESCRIPTION:
Fun and entertaining read that has an interesting premise Rebel Fleet was a good, solid sci-fi read that had plenty of action and an interesting plot-line that had some uniquely different ideas. The basic premise is: in the distant past the Imperial Kher seeded numerous worlds. Their off-spring are known by the term sub-Kher and have developed according to the environment on whatever particular planet they come from - some are repilian, others are ape-like or cat-like, etc. Now these sub-Kher are rebelling against the Empire and things are not going well.

Those who rule there have an ancient tradition: When each cycle ends, they train their fleets by spilling the blood of lesser beings. "Classic B. Fast adventure, fast action - and I loved the space-battles!" - S. In response, the Rebel Worlds gather their starships to face the terrifying thre
