Books about Riposte from Amazon.com

Hanse Davion and Melissa Steiner have united two Great Houses of the Inner Sphere in a marriage that suddenly upsets the balance of power among the stars. Though some hope this may bring an end to centuries of war, Maximilian Liao of the Capellan Confederation has enlisted the aid of two highly placed Davion traitors to destroy Hanse Davion and the Federated Suns from both within and without. But in the distant star chambers of the Capellan March and Draconis Combine, the Warlords of Maximilian Liao are honoring a different and more deadly vow: to wage an unholy war that threatens to rip asunder the vulnerable worlds of the Federated Suns. As Davion 'Mech commander Andrew Redburn and his mercenaries streak into battle, an explosive clash of metal and men signals the return of a formidable foe. Interstellar legend Yorinaga Kurita has returned to stake his claim as the most bloodthirsty warrior of all. For both men it is do-or-die combat that could ensure the triumph of a glorious new alliance -- or result in its total annihilation..

“A piece of sheer heaven. It kicks Richard Dawkins’ self-aggrandising polemic, The God Delusion, into touch with featherlight footwork and is deliciously wise, witty and intellectually sharp.”—The Times (London)

“The most consummately crafted work of deadly opposition I have ever read, as well as being sincere, truthful and open to debate. A must read.”—Julia Neuberger

“Cornwell has done an excellent job in providing a book that should, in an ideal world, be sold taped to every copy of The God Delusion as an essential corrective.”—The Independent

Richard Dawkins’ apologia for atheism has attracted huge attention, and sales, all over the world. In a telling critique cast in the classical form of a letter to Dawkins, John Cornwell takes issue with it.

The God Delusion is a clarion call to the faithless, the waverers, and even firm religious believers, to follow the author into radical atheism not merely as a private conviction but as a public profession. Wouldn’t humankind be better off without religion? he asks. Darwin’s Angel is not so much a combative repudiation of Dawkins’ arguments as a playful conversation with them, posing alternative viewpoints and exposing lapses in logic and errors of fact from the vantage point of a friendly guardian angel.

John Cornwell’s books include Hitler's Pope and, most recently, Seminary Boy. He is director of the Science and Human Dimension Project at Jesus College, University of Cambridge.
