But there are other forces who covet Horngard. And they will not let it go without a fight. . . .

The fates of two pairs of siblings are the key to Horngard’s future: Mikeli and Camwyn, Gwenno and Aris. Will they have what it takes to triumph? any one place, the other half of the demon will catch up, kill him, and drag Betty down to hell.

S.M. Stirling continues the new timeline where Rome never fell into ruin and, indeed, is reaching for the stars!

Rome Never Fell.

To save mankind from nuclear doom, time travelers brought future technology to a faltering Rome (as chronicled in To Turn the Tide). This Roman Empire conquered the world and united mankind before spreading across the solar system and beyond—where they discovered they hadn’t united all of mankind. Nor was Rome the only civilization expanding into the galaxy. For the first time in centuries, Rome is both challenged and once again facing barbarian hordes.

When a Roman colony world is invaded by the Gra’ak, an alliance of Fallen Empire barbarians, Emperor Marcus Verus Augustus Caesar charges what can be spared of the Roman Navy and Legions with reclaiming it. Because once a world was beneath the wings of the Eagles, it was guaranteed the protection of their talons.

Commander Aquila Amphion is tasked with leading the fleet, and she embraces the responsibility for both professional and personal reasons. The Gra’ak threatened to extinguish three million Roman citizens, among them the one man who meant more to her than any other—Evander Triarius, the scion of one of Rome’s noblest families . . . and her fiancé.

Driven by duty and love, Aquila devises a bold plan to not just save their colony, but to take the fight to the Gra’ak home world and conquer it for the Roman Empire.

Imperium sine fine.

Empire without limits.

Favored by the Gods, guarded by brave men and women, they would bring all worlds and all of far-flung humanity beneath the banner of the Roman Empire. Even the barbarians.

THE HOTTEST MILITARY SCIENCE FICTION SERIES OF ALL TIME CONTINUES WITH A COLLECTION OF TALES SET IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE STAR KINGDOM OF DAVID WEBER’S NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING HONORVERSE

In Honor Harrington’s day, the Star Kingdom of Manticore is the wealthiest star nation on a per capita basis in the entire galaxy. It is home to magnificent cities. Its planets’ oceans and seas—and skies—are open to its people, yet they have maintained the beauty and the magnificence of their natural habitats.

But that was not always true. Pioneers, especially interstellar pioneers, must be tough, smart, and self-reliant, and the people who built the Star Kingdom knew that. They prepared carefully for their enormous voyage, incorporated every measure they could think of, and even so, their new worlds did their best to kill them all. They very nearly succeeded, as the Plague Years pushed the human interlopers to the very brink of survival, forcing them to grow and change in ways they never could have anticipated.

In the process, they became the people who could one day produce Honor Harrington, Elizabeth Winton, and the remarkable people willing to stand in the path of the People’s Republic of Haven’s insatiable advance . . . and then to ally with the Republic when both of them learned who their true enemy was. In many ways, that fortitude was the inevitable result of a star nation that learned early on that what truly matters is the way one faces the challenges the universe throws at one.

These are the stories of people who learned that lesson, and met—and triumphed—over every challenge of their new homes.

All original stories by: David Weber, Marisa Wolf, Jacob Holo, Dan Butler, Thomas Pope, and Jane Lindskold.

Conspiracy Theories Meet Superhero Reality

Dumped in an alleyway as a baby and raised in one of the most vicious inner cities this country has to offer, Michael Edwards’ life changed forever when he acquired Earth powers and heard the words, “The Storm is Coming.” He trained those powers, forged a team with the other Junior Supers, and took down a vicious criminal. Then, he disappeared to hunt down the remains of that creature’s gang on his own.

Now, he’s back in New York City. Not only is he looking for justice—no, vengeance—for what was done to his mother, but he also seeks the inheritance that’s his due.

Blocking the path to Michael’s inheritance is The Society, a secret organization which runs most of the world and can best be described as pure evil. No teenage boy alive could possibly hope to bring down The Society on his own. Except, perhaps, for one Michael Edwards, aka Stone Tactical, aka Boogie Knight.

The Society is about to get a visit, and they won’t know what hit them.
