Tor Books is pleased to announce the return of two of bestselling author L.E. Modesitt, Jr.'s science fiction novels, The Ecolitan Operation (Tor 1989) and The Ecologic Secession (Tor 1990), together for the first time in one volume titled EMPIRE & ECOLITAN. Both of these novels deal with the conflict between the old, corrupt interstellar Empire and the Ecolitan Institute of the planet Accord.

Major Jimjoy Earle Wright, secret agent of the Empire, is intelligent and highly trained. But he succeeds all too well in overthrowing a military dictatorship-and the result is a new government inimical to the Empire and disgrace for Jimjoy. After surviving two assassination attempts, Jimjoy realizes that it's his own imperial superiors who want him dead: that, in fact his worst enemies could now become his best friends. Jimjoy switches sides, joins the Ecolitan Institute and changes his identity. Now, as James Joyson Whaler, he must fight in the war for independence against his former colleagues.
