The Privilege of Peace

by Tanya Huff

Overview

Now in mass market, former space marine Torin Kerr returns for one final adventure to save the Confederation in the last book of the military science fiction Peacekeeper trilogy.

Warden Torin Kerr has put her past behind her and built a life away from the war and everything that meant. From the good, from the bad. From the heroics, from the betrayal. She's created a place and purpose for others like her, a way to use their training for the good of the Confederation. She has friends, family, purpose.

Unfortunately, her past refuses to grant her the same absolution. Big Yellow, the ship form of the plastic aliens responsible for the war, has returned. The Silsviss test the strength of the Confederation. Torin will have to be Gunnery Sergeant Kerr once more to find a way to keep the peace.

Editorial Reviews

Praise for the Peacekeeper trilogy:

“Huff weaves a fast-paced thriller bristling with treachery and intrigue. Fans of military science fiction will enjoy this tense adventure and its intricately constructed setting.” —Publishers Weekly

“Huff works in plenty of backstory for new readers…. Once the action hits the planet running, Huff kicks it into high gear.” —RT Reviews

"Tanya Huff knows how to tell a rip-roaring, military sci-fi mystery story like few others." —Barnes & Noble Sci-fi & Fantasy Blog

"[A Peace Divided is] a fun novel, pacey, full of banter, with plenty of space for more sequels. Torin Kerr the Justice Department Warden approaches her work and her life differently to Torin Kerr the Marine, but once a Gunnery Sergeant, always a Gunnery Sergeant. Explosions abound!" —Tor.com

“Torin and her team feel like The A-Team crossed with Mission Impossible.... as long as Tanya Huff decides to keep writing about Torin, I will be ecstatically reading her adventures.” —Fantasy Book Review

“The story is told incredibly well and the pace is frenetic once the mission gets underway.... I definitely recommend An Ancient Peace for fans of military sci-fi.” —SFRevu

“An Ancient Peace is certainly the adrenaline-fueled adventure that I have come to know, love and expect from this series.” —Reading Reality

“An Ancient Peace is all about robust dialogue, well defined characters and a rock solid plot that drives the story onward.... This is intelligent, well written, character driven science fiction falling into that sweet spot between hard sci-fi and pulp action.” —The Book Beard’s Blog

“Huff is very good with characters and dialogue…she can still turn a line that will make me laugh out loud.” —Clandestine Critic

From the Publisher

07/16/2018
Huff brings her action-packed Peacekeeper military SF trilogy to an explosive conclusion with this twisty third installment (after A Peace Divided). Former Marine Gunnery Sergeant Torin Kerr and her loyal multispecies Strike Team face the xenophobic terrorists of Humans First and the bizarre aliens called “the plastic” one last time. Torin and her team keep the peace as Wardens for the Justice arm of the Confederation, part of the force the Elder Races use to do their dirty work. But Torin’s team discovers Humans First has a cell inside the Justice Department. They’ll need to infiltrate and find the bad guys before the terrorists can instigate a civil war that could shatter the Confederation. To complicate matters, the alien plastic have returned. They could be powerful allies to the Confederation—unless Humans First gets to them. This rapid-fire adventure is brimming with tense intrigue and lively, believable human and alien characters.
