HE NEVER WANTED TO BE A REBEL

The Five Hundred, the elite families who rule the Terran Federation, own virtually all of the industry that produces the weapons and matériel the war consumes so voraciously . . . and they’ve made damn sure someone else does the dying. True, there are a few flies in the Five Hundred’s ointment. There’s the growing hatred and resentment of the Fringe Worlds, whose children do eighty percent of the dying in the Five Hundred’s war.

And there’s Terrence Murphy, a man of honor who loves the Federation, who springs from the Five Hundred, yet knows it for what it is and is determined to speak for its victims.

Praise for Governor:

“The authors pack the story with both the specs of far-future fighting machines . . . and the hypercompetent, duty-driven warriors who crew them. Fans of old-school military sci-fi should check this out.”
—Publishers Weekly

FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN

The surviving students at St. Dominic’s Preparatory School for Girls have had it rough since the H7D3 virus virtually wiped out human civilization. Between rampaging hordes of zombies and wannabe tinpot dictators, the only thing holding them together is the iron will of the school’s lone surviving nun, Sister Ann. They know how to survive, but rebuilding isn’t only about surviving—it’s about rising up.

As more survivors start to seek asylum at the isolated school, it becomes readily apparent that the school can be the anvil from which humanity is reforged. To achieve this, though, the survivors must rely on one another to rebuild. The flames of life will be fanned, and the sparks from every strike of the hammer will provide light in the darkness.

Race Against Fate

Working as a merc on a backwater planet is a dangerous job. But when the bullets stop flying, the boredom sets in, and with it the short tempers. One way the mercs blow off steam: racing in their power armor. But when Danny Ricter is challenged to a race, it soon becomes clear that more is on the line than his honor and the title to his exosuit.

*Mountain of Fire* HALF Jason Cordova The surviving students at St. Dominic’s Preparatory School for Girls have had it rough since the H7D3 virus virtually wiped out human civilization.

*Governor* David Weber & Richard Fox There is no end to how high Rear Admiral Terrence Murphy can climb within the ranks of the Five Hundred, the social elite of the Heart Worlds. But Terrence Murphy is a man of honor. He intends to stop the genocide perpetrated by the Five Hundred, no matter the cost. Terrence will end fifty-six years of bloodshed and slaughter—and Hell itself rides with him.
*Monster Hunter Vendetta* Larry Correia With supernatural assassins targeting his family, a spy in their midst, and horrific beasties lurking around every corner, Owen and the staff of Monster Hunter International don’t need to go hunting, because this time the monsters are hunting them. Fortunately, this bait is armed and very dangerous . . .
*The City of Marble and Blood* Howard Andrew Jones Hanuvar had pledged to find the remnants of his people, scattered into slavery across the whole of the peninsula. This time he has no army to help him. Arrayed against him are the mighty legions, the sorcerous Revenants, and the wily Metellus of the Praetorian guard, ever alert to seize advantage. Worst of all, a magical attack has left Hanuvar with a lingering curse that might change him forever . . . or lead him to an early grave.
*Monster Hunter Memoirs: Fever* Larry Correia & Jason Cordova Los Angeles: the 1970s. Disco is king and the nightclubs are full of young, beautiful people with Saturday night fever. But below the glitz and glamour, a darkness lurks. Chloe Mendoza, a daughter of a group of demigods who ruled Mesoamerica before the Spanish arrived and member of MHI’s latest team, receives a warning that a Dark Master is building up its power in the region.
*Designed to Fail* HALF Virginia DeMarce Frederik of Denmark is the new governor of the new province of Westphalia, and harbors the dark suspicion that the Swedes who now dominate central Europe deliberately designed the province so that he would not succeed in his assignment.
