The Birthright series is where Rick Partlow’s career began. The first book, published in 2011, introduces a soldier caught up in political and military conflicts that span star systems. The series grew to four books with Northwest Passage (2015), Enemy of My Enemy (2016), and Glory Boy (2016).
While his later series have bigger book counts and wider readerships, Birthright shows Partlow working out the themes and style that would define his career: front-line combat, personal loyalty tested by institutional corruption, and the cost of war on individual soldiers.
