In this installment of the series, Alric has won the war, and peace may be at hand. He is now emperor, but he soon discovers that governing may not be as easy as making war. Various intrigues to undermine the peace are unraveling, and heavy is the crown on the head of the man wearing it  now. Add to this an alien invasion, and Alric will really have to struggle to keep peace and order.

This volume covers issues 7-9 of the comic. This continues to be a great series with strong characters and plots that draw you in. Once you start, you just keep on reading. For me, this series continues to be a pleasure to read and one I am happy to recommend. If you are looking for something good, a good adventure story, this is it.

4 out of 5 stars.
