The war with the Kilrathi is over, but not all is well within in the Confederation. Skirmishes in the Border Worlds destroy ships regularly. Both Confed and the Union of Border Worlds assign blame to each other and the skirmishes threaten to lead to all-out war. Blair is recalled to active duty and sent to the Border Worlds to confirm Confed's determination. But he soon finds out that a conspiracy of war-mongers with members in the highest Confed circles are responsible for the attacks. Defecting to the Border Worlds, Blair must expose the conspiracy to help restore the peace.
In 1996, Baen published a novel based on the game, The Price of Freedon, by William R. Forstchen and Ben Ohlander. Copies can be found via Bookfinder.Com
Book synopsis:
Who says the war is over?
In "Heart of the Tiger", the Kilrathi empire was eradicated through the bravery of a few flying aces. Now, Colonel Blair and his wing are fighting a more familiar menace -- their fellow humans. Blair had settled down to the quiet life of a farmer, but he's been called back into action to fight rebels from the Border Worlds. And Colonel Blair finds that dogfighting with people is a whole different kettle of kittens than fighting an alien cat species. Those humans are tricky....
