Hey /lit/ sci-fi/space opera fan here. I just finished reading The Owner trilogy by Neal Asher and I really enjoyed it. Do you know of any other books that have that same feel to them? I've read most of Neal Asher's other stuff and enjoyed it too, but the Owner is slightly different. More of a rise to power series. Any recommendations?
I haven't read your book, but the first English translation of the Legend Of The Galactic Heroes novels was released this month after about 30 years (pic related), I'm about 50% in and it's a lot about the "rise to power" of two opposing commanders in two competing galactic empires, maybe that'll fit?

Synopsis sounds pretty cool, I'll check that out, thanks. Any western literature?

Sorry, I passed out last night. Have you read the owner? The main character takes on a planetary government using only the neuro implant in his brain and his own ingenuity. The "feel" is that sense of "Holy shit this guy is a badass" I guess.

This sounds vaguely similar to the plot of Starswarm.

I don't recall much in the way of badassery though.

I would put it at the "okay" level.
