House Of The Wolf (Book Three Of The Phoenix Legacy) - Plot & Excerpts
As you may recall, it was Simon who married his daughter to the new Lord Orabu Drakon (or, properly, Drakonis) and established his House on Centauri’s lushest site, Pollux, where it prospered with its zinc, tin, and copper franchises. Simon built his Home Estate on the mountain-girt Pangaean Straits in the new city of Leda, lived in it for seven years, then at the age of seventy-four, died quietly in his sleep. That was in 3101, three years before the Mankeen Revolt. It was left to his son, Quintin, to deal with the problems that created. Our histories tend to leave the impression that the Centauri System was untouched by the Revolt, suffering no more than a long period of isolation from the Concord. That isn’t quite true. Some of the major battles in the Revolt occurred there, and four of the five inhabited Centauran planets were vacuum colonies, dependent on the maintenance of habitat systems. Fortunately, those four were thinly populated (in fact, the population of the entire Centauri System at that time was no more than three million), and could be successfully evacuated to Pollux.
