Brothers in Arms: The Raltharan Story

Brothers in Arms: The Raltharan Story was a bestselling biography written in the Golden Empire. It told the story of the Centurion Sato Raltharan and his younger brother, Colonel General Ephir Raltharan.

Written in a "compare-and-contrast" style, Brothers in Arms was based on interviews from friends, acquaintances, and surviving family members of the Raltharan brothers, as well as interviews and reports they themselves had given. It followed them from their youth, raised as the noble sons of Miyak Raltharan; made reference to Sato's time with the Noble Order of the Pyriolari; detailed their careers in their native army before Vytuia joined the Golden Empire; and tracked their subsequent careers in the Order of Keltrayu and Vytuia Defense Force.

Queen Rin Sakaros and her brother, Phoenix Prince Tariun Sakaros, refused to be interviewed for the book as a matter of course, but Princess Breek Zagrev wrote a foreword for the book, and several Centurions, including Te`net Organi, provided their memories of one or both Raltharan brothers. The Raltharan estate allowed the author to publish some private correspondences between the brothers for the first time.

Brothers in Arms far outstripped sales expectations on Vytuia and was well-received throughout the Empire as a whole.
