Wind Rider's Oath

Journeying to the Sothoii Wind Plain as a representative of the War God, Bahzell is selected to become the first hradani windrider in history, an honor that brings as much resentment as respect and a situation that is complicated by the plots of the goddess Shigu, the Queen of Hell, and her supporters and the romantic overtures of Baron Tellian's daughter.

David Weber is the brightest star in the new century's science fiction firmament. He is often compared to C.S. Forester (the celebrated creator of Captain Horatio Hornblower), is the recipient of critical praise worthy of Heinlein or Asimov, and has hordes of voracious fans clamoring for more and more Weber. Fortunately for them, Weber keeps steadily producing more and more books. His novels range from epic fantasy (Oath of Swords, The War God's Own, Wind Rider's Oath) to breathtaking space opera (Path of the Fury, Empire from the Ashes) to military science fiction with in-depth characterization (the celebrated New York Times bestselling Honor Harrington series, War of Honor being the latest). Readers call Weber similar things, but mostly they call the Baen offices several times a week demanding more from their main man. Weber and his wife Sharon and their three children live in South Carolina.
