Iron Empires Volume 1: Faith Conquers
In the universe ofIron Empires, Moeller's now finally collected 1990s comics, humanity huddles in eight galactic nations besieged by the Vaylen, wormlike parasites that take over their hosts' will and motivation. InFaith Conquers, seasoned warrior Trevor Faith arrives on Hotok to command the armed forces of the orthodox national church, whose aging local head is beset by wrangling counselors, many of whom are probably in cahoots with powerful heretics, who in turn probably constitute a Vaylen front. Calmly and firmly refusing all contrary advice, Faith immediately launches combat exercises for his troops, which allow him to descry which officers he can trust at the time, very soon, that he turns exercises into genuine offensives against the heretics. He also finds an invaluable ally in the canny female church official who greeted him when he arrived.Ray OlsonCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
