#1 New York Times bestselling author Westerfeld continues one of the first great space operas of this century
Scott Westerfeld, the acclaimed author of Fine Prey, Polymorph, and Evolution's Darling, follows The Risen Empire with the next thrilling space opera in Succession, the Killing of Worlds. The immortal Emperor can grant a form of eternal life-after-death, creating an elite known as the Risen, and so has ruled the eighty worlds unchallenged for sixteen hundred years. The only thing he fears are the Rix, machine-augmented humans who worship AI compound minds. They are dedicated to replacing his prolonged rule with an eternal cybernetic dynasty of their own. Brilliant tactician Captain Laurent Zai of the Imperial Frigate Lynx faces a suicide mission: stopping the next thrust of the Rix invasion with just his own vessel. While ship-to-ship combat rages among the stars, Zai's lover, Senator Nara Oxham, is caught in a deadly political fencing match with the Emperor himself. The Emperor has a terrible secret, a secret Nara is in danger of finding out, a secret for which he would countenance the killing of worlds.Binding Type: Paperback

For better sleep and consultation and calming effect.
It seems to work for me, it makes me calm but energetic, plus I sleep for 8 hours since taking it.

Not working for me 100%
Still not sure about how this magnesium affects me. I have only been taking one tablet an hour or two before bedtime. Seems like sometimes I can’t go to sleep after taking it, charges up my brain. Other times I sleep but have crazy dreams. Maybe it works for some, but not others. I’ll try to finish the bottle, but the lack of sleep after taking the Magnesium L-Threonate makes me hesitant to continue some nights. That’s mainly the reason I purchased this brand to include the reviews.

Helps Relax the muscles
I like to take a magnesium supplement daily, usually in the evening before going to be as it helps relax me for sleep

very good
Format: Kindle
Another good addition to this publisher's collection. The book is well organized, flows well and is very readable. The main thing I have like about this series is that they don't just cover the "highlights," although they do a good job on those, but how they cover more of the daily lives of the people. I was surprised at exactly how hard the people's lives were by choice, not just men but woman as well. I can't imagine being drafted into the military at age 5 or 6 and staying there until you were thirty. And eating "black soup" a concoction made of pork, pigs' blood, onions, salt and vinegar. To paraphrase a quote, it's no wonder Spartans were prepared to die when all you eat was this soup! I was also surprised by the freedoms including education and land ownership of the woman of Sparta giving the era.....and the sexual freedom they had was more surprising. There is a lot more information of interest. This is a good book and most will enjoy reading it

Interesting

This was a well written and entertaining overview of the Spartans. The information was well put together and easy to understand.
I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
