This is hard science with some very plausible advanced technology and weaponry. Hogan gets a little heavy-handed at times, but he tells a rousing story.
From back cover: INVASION FROM EARTH Earth seemed doomed to a fiery death, so they colonized the Alpha Centauri system with children. But not everyone perished in Old Earth's War. Decades later a generation ship bearing a cargo of colonists--and an army to protect them--headed for the planet Chiron to reassert Earth's lawful control over the fledgling colony.
Too bad the colonists didn't see things the same way.
A deadly clash--with supermodern weapons--was inevitable as each faction sought to convert the other to the 'right' way.
