In February of 2011 we started posting free nonfiction we at Baen thought might be of interest to our readers. The first article was "The Size of it All" by Les Johnson, a Baen author and space scientist. As new nonfiction is made available, it will be posted on the main page, then added to this book (to save the Baen Barflies the trouble of doing it themselves). This is our compilation of nonfiction for 2018.

LEE STRIKES BACK! After a terrible setback at Gettysburg, General Robert E. Lee does not retreat across the Potomac and his ultimate surrender at

Appomattox. Instead, he turns the tables on Union General George Meade with a vicious counterattack that sets the Union Army on its heels.

While Lee sets across Pennsylvania in a dazzling war of maneuver, a crazed actor closes in on President Abraham Lincoln. Standing in his way is Major Steve Thorne, a thoughtful lawyer-turned-soldier fighting for the Union and his own self-respect, and Cassandra Baird, a young woman whose courage is only surpassed by her determination to teach emancipated slaves to read and write, and so ensure their freedom.

Opposing them is Colonel Corey Wade, a brave Confederate officer who is just as determined to fight to the death for his honor and that of his state. And, in the end, the fate of a nation may come down to a freed slave named Hadrian, a man with an iron resolve never to return to bondage.

The time has come to strike a blow for liberty—or go down swinging!

LEE STRIKES BACK!

After a terrible setback at Gettysburg, General Robert E. Lee does not retreat across the Potomac and his ultimate surrender at Appomattox. Instead, he turns the tables on Union General George Meade with a vicious counterattack that sets the Union Army on its heels.

In January of 2011 we started posting free short stories we thought might be of interest to Baen readers. The first stories were "Space Hero" by Patrick Lundrigan, the winner of the 2010 Jim Baen Memorial Short Story Contest, and "Tanya, Princess of Elves," by Larry Correia, author of Monster Hunter International and set in that universe. As new stories are made available, they will be posted on the main page, then added to this book (to save the Baen Barflies the trouble of doing it themselves). This is our compilation of short stories for 2015.

Listen to Terry Burlison discuss his essay, "Columbia's First Victims", here on the Baen Free Radio Hour.

A science fiction take on The Duchess of Malfi.  The diabolical machinelike Erinye have taken over the solar system and destroyed or assimilated what is left of humanity. One woman, Lady Julia Amalfi, escapes in a starship loaded with genetic material from Earth and, with a young artificial intelligence named Cary, settles frontier planet Midgard. Now factions have arisen, and the brutal totalitarian Rigorists and the stubborn individualist rebels are squaring off for war just as Julia discovers that the Erinye may be on their way to Midgard. With survival on the line, the Midgardians must pull out a save for humanity. If not, night will fall on the last human settlement, and our species's chapter in history may well be over forever.

J.R. Dunn:  master of military action, superb storytelling, and fully-realized characters.  Dunn tackles the toughest subjects known to science fiction: genetic engineering, the ethics of time travel when it comes to horrific events, and unaugmented human survival in hard universe.  Furthermore, Dunn brings to bear his own expertise as a military historian to each story.

Discover a treasure trove of hard-hitting, wonder-inducing, idea-driven science fiction adventure from a writer of power and imagination, including Days of Cain, the best time travel tale dealing with the Holocaust every written, in our humble opinion.

"[Dunn's fiction contains] . . . action scenes ranking with the best in military SF."—Publishers Weekly

"Genuinely harrowing and impassioned, with wonderful characters and an unforgettable theme."—Kirkus

Days of Cain

This Side of Judgment

by J. R. Dunn

Full Tide of Night

by J. R. Dunn

In the 21st century, the U.S. has been fractured by invasion and terrorism. Much of the Southwest is depopulated, with thousands of survivors having made their way to the small, snowbound town of Ironwood, Montana. There also the remnants of a group of cybernetically enhanced supermen may be going slowly insane—with murderous results. Enter Ross Bohlen of the Computer Subversion Strike Force.  His job: ferret out the Chiphead killers without bringing what remains of civilization crashing down.

Arguably the best time travel tale dealing with the Holocaust ever written, in our humble opinion.  A rebellious group of time travelers attempt to prevent one of the greatest atrocities humanity ever devised: Auschwitz. Monitor and ace enforcement operative Gaspar James is sent to stop them.  Gaspar knows that the horror must be allowed to run its course in order to preserve the integrity of the time line. At least that's what he has told himself throughout his service to the Moiety, the group charged with overseeing the continuity of time. But even Gaspar has his doubts—and millions of lives hang in the balance.
