The Martian General’s Daughter by Theodore Judson

Despite the presence of the Red Planet and of martial titles, this is not your standard piece of military sf; its 250-odd pages follow 45 years in the life of General Peter Justice Black and his illegitimate daughter, Justa, as civilization collapses back into a pre-industrial mode, helped along more than a little by its supreme ruler, the Emperor Luke Anthony. The Martian General’s Daughter is heavily based upon the fall of the Roman Empire some 2,000 years earlier (although this similarity is never explicitly mentioned).
