This is the first in a two-volume re-release of David Weber's and Steve White's four volume set of novels on the Starfire universe. The first volume, Stars at War I (this one) has the first two in chronological order, Crusade and In Death Ground. Personally, I think the re-release is somewhat lackluster compared to the second volume (no really new information or features) but it does bring it all together in one hardcover, which wears much better than the preceeding paperbacks. As well, it also adds in a few more scenes that were not in to begin with. Overall a decent re-release, certianly worth the money.
