The Empire Strikes Back, The Force, And A Death Star
Written In 1893.

"Our empire is not bounded by the roofs of subterranean caverns, but only by the limits of the planetÕs atmosphere. We can soar beyond the clouds and dive beneath the seas. We have realised what he called the Vril force as a sober, scientific fact; and if I thought that you, for instance, were my enemy, I could strike you dead without so much as laying a hand on you. And if a dozen like you tried to overcome me by superior brute force, they would all meet with the same fate."

Over a century of peace follows the Armageddon of 1904 detailed in Tsar Wars Episode One: Angel of the Revolution. The fifth generation of the Brotherhood of Freedom enforces the peace with flying ships and the mighty Vril-ForceÑuntil he last living child of the Tsar's line, Olga Romanoff, "beautiful beyond description and evil beyond comprehention," strikes back in revenge and plunges the world back into war. Will the arrival of a Death Star throw the world into total chaos?

Tsar Wars Episode Two: Syren Of The Skies was originally published in 1894 under the title Olga Romanoff, or Syren of the Skies by Tower. This publication includes the complete original text and illustrations.
