Up-timer Morris Roth and his Grand Army of the Sunrise stand at a crossroads. Military success against the Polish-Lithuanian magnates has all but guaranteed a continued push east into Ruthenian lands. There, Roth hopes to further his Anaconda Project so that tens of thousands of Jews are not slaughtered in what’s to become known as the Chmielnicki Pogrom of 1648. Transylvania is thrown into political, social, and religious turmoil as battle lines are drawn. Whatever happens and whoever wins the fight, one thing is certain: the history of Eastern Europe will change radically. In fact, it already has.

Join young Penric as he journeys from young lord to sorcerer and scholar in the Bastard’s Order. Includes “Masquerade in Lodi,” “The Orphans of Raspay,” and “The Physicians of Vilnoc.” Plus a new introduction, “outroduction,” and suggested reading order by Lois McMaster Bujold.

Tchami “Chummy” Fabrice’s task: bring together a West African family, two engineer cousins, an ambitious megacorp executive, the nephew of a powerful Bakweri tribal chieftain, and more. His mission: to construct the world’s first space elevator in Africa, thus ensuring the space industry it catapults will enrich the continent and all involved. They have the carbon nanofiber, prime land around Kilimanjaro, and a captured rock in orbit for the tether. The hard part will be getting all these different people working together long enough to see it built.

Admiral Jared Clement has returned to Trinity. With his promotion comes increased responsibility that weighs heavy on his shoulders. Thirty thousand settlers are leaving the dying planets of the Rim, his home, and resettling next to the natives of the planet Bellus. Clement is responsible for those lives and the lives of the natives, Trinity’s children. But when his migrant fleet arrives in the Trinity system, they are faced with enemies both old and new. With just a small military fleet, Clement is faced with the almost impossible task of defending both his people and the natives.

In The Dabare Snake Launcher, the race to build the world’s first space elevator is on! Now, we don’t know about our readers, but here at Baen HQ, none of us want to get stuck on an elevator. (We’ve had a few close calls at DragonCon, however.) Of course, if that were to happen, the right company would make all the difference. Which got us thinking, what character from science fiction or fantasy would you most want to be stuck on a space elevator with and why? Let us know in a short paragraph to win a signed copy of The Dabare Snake Launcher.
