Book excerpt: **All five stories collected in this volume have been previously published in various collections, novels and anthologies, including Forge and Steel, Planetary Assault, First Conquest, Desolator: Conquest, and Jerry Pournelle's There Will Be War X.** Earth and her solar system are under continuous attack by an empire of a thousand worlds. The enemy's living ships spread inexorably from star to star, reproducing along the way. The only thing standing in their way are the men and women of EarthFleet and their Fleet Marine brothers- and sisters-in-arms. But soon, EarthFleet will launch its own counterattack, a desperate bid to conquer an enemy star system and turn the tide of war. Leading the assault will be Sergeant Major Jill "Reaper" Repeth, Lieutenant Joseph "Bull" ben Tauros, Admiral Henrich Absen, and Commander Vincent Markis, all ready to lay their lives on the line to preserve the lives and freedom of a fragile humanity. This is the world of Plague Wars: Stellar Conquest, a science fiction saga spanning sixteen novels and several shorter stories.

It takes readers through the fight against the Order of Ra. Having saved and reclaimed their community, Clan MacLee now expands its influence into the world at large. While Sarah, Gina, and Ke'ira enter military service, JoAnn begins the reclamation of the free world's farmlands, and Amareah takes engineering with fabric to the next level. While the mothers of Clan MacLee strive openly, Gammon watches over their children as they grow and develop with assistance from creatures named holies. Learn how these amazing children guide the world from the shadow of their parents' greatness. The great leaps of advancement in robotics, metallurgy, cybernetics, and art are overshadowed by their family's faith. While teaching the true meanings of the Prophets' revelations, healing an entire culture, or designing weapons systems that will cut swathes of death and destruction through enemy formations, the children also learn what it means to be human. As the rest of Clan MacLee drafts the designs, Gammon leads the way in the most ambitious plan of ship construction ever attempted. In overseeing construction of a "grand canal" with its three-mile-across assembly building, the humble teacher and oarsman seeks to control the world's coastlines. I AM: An Alternate Saga of Biblical Proportions - Book Two: The Horde awaits adventurous sci-fi fans.

Sergeant Major Shaw and the Deadmen command the only known weapon, the dreadnaught, capable of thwarting the impending collapse of the human race. And their enemies in the Principality know it. The Republic's farspace planets struggle against the spread of the biological weapon known as the Scourge. One by one they are falling prey to the devastating alien disease. Taking advantage of the Scourge calamity, the Principality embark on a brutal conquest to rule all of humanity. The only hope of preventing the Principality's subjugation of the free worlds rests in Shaw and the Deadmen delivering the dreadnaught safely into the Republic's hands. But when the Deadmen become trapped on a Scourge-infested planet, the mission becomes more difficult than they anticipated. Especially with the arrival of Principality forces stronger and deadlier than they have ever faced. Pacific Rim meets Starship Troopers in Conquest, the fourth book in the Deadmen's War series.

Book excerpt: The twentieth century was awash in war. World powers were pouring men and machines onto the killing fields of Europe. Then, in one dramatic stroke, a divided planet was changed forever. An alien race attacked Earth, and for every nation, every human being, new battle lines were drawn. . HOMEWARD BOUND With his epic novels of alternate history, Harry Turtledove shares a stunning vision of what might have been–and what might still be–if one moment in history were changed. In the WorldWar and Colonization series, an ancient, highly advanced alien species found itself locked in a bitter struggle with a distant, rebellious planet–Earth. For those defending the Earth, this all-out war for survival supercharged human technology, made friends of foes, and turned allies into bitter enemies. For the aliens known as the Race, the conflict has yielded dire consequences. Mankind has developed nuclear technology years ahead of schedule, forcing the invaders to accept an uneasy truce with nations that possess the technology to defend themselves. But it is the Americans, with their primitive inventiveness, who discover a way to launch themselves through distant space–and reach the Race’s home planet itself. Now–in the twenty-first century–a few daring men and women embark upon a journey no human has made before. Warriors, diplomats, traitors, and exiles–the humans who arrive in the place called Home find themselves genuine strangers on a strange world, and at the center of a flash point with terrifying potential. For their arrival on the alien home world may drive the enemy to make the ultimate decision–to annihilate an entire planet, rather than allow the human contagion to spread. It may be that nothing can deter them from this course. With its extraordinary cast of characters–human, nonhuman, and some in between–Homeward Bound is a fascinating contemplation of cultures, armies, and individuals in collision. From the novelist USA Today calls “the leading author of alternate history,” this is a novel of vision, adventure, and constant, astounding surprise.
