Agent Raibert Kaminski and the crew of the Transtemporal Vehicle Kleio have stumbled across a temporal implosion that has claimed two whole universes, and neither Raibert nor his crew can figure out what caused this calamity, or how to stop its spread. Navigating the paradoxes of time can be a killer task—especially when dogged by those who seek your destruction at every turn. The crew of the Kleio won't go down without a fight, no matter where—or when—the threat to their home comes from.

What if the United States had gone to war with the Soviet Union? What if these rival superpowers had fought on land, sea, air, and the astral plane? What if the Soviets and Americans had struggled for dominion across parallel dimensions or on the surface of the moon? How would the world have changed? What wonders would have been unveiled? What terrors would have haunted mankind from those dark and dismal dimensions? Come closer, peer through a glass darkly, and discover the horrifying alternative visions of World War III from some of today’s greatest minds in science fiction, fantasy, and horror.

It's October and Halloween is just around the corner. To celebrate, we're giving away two books that take a terrifying look at what might have been. In David Weber and Jacob Holo's The Valkyrie Protocol, Raibert Kaminski must put a stop to wrongdoers in multiple realities, across the multiverse. And the new anthology Weird World War III, edited by Sean Patrick Hazlett, asks what strange horrors might have been unleashed had the Cold War turned hot. To be entered into a random drawing to win signed copies of both books, just drop us an e-mail.

To celebrate the release of Tim Aker's new novel Knight Watch, we asked you: What characters from Baen Books would you fit right in at Knight Watch, fighting baddies at the Ren Faire? Congrats to Ryan True. He wins a copy of Knight Watch, signed by Tim Akers.
