But the higher-ups are about to find out that when you put human lives on a balance sheet, you may not get the results you’re after. And that the intangible things in life—loyalty, compassion, and beauty—sometimes conquer even the most cold-hearted financial equations. An all-new story, set in the Trial By Fire universe, from Charles E. Gannon.

Going to DragonCon this year? So is Baen! And we’ve got a lot of great stuff planned. We’ll be hosting a Worlds of Baen entrant in the DragonCon Parade and we need you to help make it a success. To learn more, check out the Baen DragonCon Parade Group on facebook here.

But that’s not all! We’re also hosting a book release party—and you’re invited. We’re celebrating the release of Islands of Rage and Hope and A Call to Duty with a party on Thursday August 28th from 7:00 p.m.—midnight, in the Peachtree Ballroom on the 8th floor of the downtown Atlanta Weston. John Ringo, Timothy Zahn, and David Weber will be attending. We’ll have books for sale, readings, autographings, and a costume contest (including your chance to win some cold hard cash). We’ve also got a few more surprises up our sleeve that you’ll have to attend to find out about.
