"Earth was divided between two powers - the Empress Innelda's Imperial Isher Dynasty and the technologically superior Weapon Shops. But the precarious balance of power was upset when the Dynasty discovered interstellar travel - and interplanetary war seemed inevitable. Now the fate of the entire galaxy was in the hands of Captain Robert Hedrock, the Weapon Shops' peacemaker to the Imperial Court. But Hedrock had dangerous secrets of his own. He was a spy for the Weapon Shops - and an informant for the Dynasty - and he was hunted as a traitor by both sides!"--Back cover

Tracing the history and development of gun-making in Birmingham, England--for many years a center of the world's firearms industry--this book covers innovations in design and manufacture of both military and sporting arms from 1660 through 1960. The city is perhaps best known for mass-producing some of the most battle-tested weapons in history, including the Brown Bess musket, the Webley revolver and the Lee-Enfield rifle. Yet Birmingham's gun-makers have carried on a centuries-long tradition of crafting high quality hand-made sporting guns.
