IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT Everyone could see it coming. But one man could do something about it. Oh, he couldn’t avert the nuclear holocaust, but a scientist in Austria, ruthlessly using billions of research dollars for his own purposes, set up an out for himself: he created a time machine, and filled a warehouse with low-tech survival gear. Too bad he didn’t get to use it himself. Instead, a team of American grad students, led by their professor, is sent back to the late Roman Empire. Even though they are experts in this time and place, they are about to realize that books and actual experience are very different things. If they can survive, they hope to remake the world into a better place. But that’s a big “if.” “Compelling time-travel adventure.” —Robert J. Sawyer “Move over, Martin Padway! The new world changers just hit town. To Turn the Tide is Steve Stirling at his best, which is a pretty darned high bar. I loved it!” —David Weber Get To Turn the Tide. |

THE GODDESS OF WAR RIDES, HERALDED BY STORM FURIES
The oni have invaded Pittsburgh on Elfhome. And, so far, it looks like they are winning. All this is according to prophecy. But the prophecy is big on symbols and light on specifics. Tinker and her allies are doing the best they can to defend the city and the civilians caught in the crossfire of a war between elves that’s been brewing for centuries. But the enemy has no hesitation whatsoever in involving innocents. All the pieces in this deadly game are in place—and everyone trusts Tinker will save them. All she needs is a plan. And then the lights go out, and the storm begins to rage. . . . “Each and every character is fascinating, extraordinarily well-developed, and gets right under your skin. . . . A terrific, memorable story.” —Julie E. Czerneda Get Storm Furies. |

SUIT UP!
Imagine a revival of suits of armor, but powered by built-in motors giving each soldier the invulnerability of a tank with even more mobility and mechanical muscle strong enough to carry light artillery, rocket launchers, laser cannon, and weapons not even on the drawing boards yet. Add on the ability to fly or jump great distances and a plethora of audio-visual enhancements, and you’ve got the stuff that superheroes are made of—hanging tin every fighting man or woman’s closet, ready to wear. Stories by: Joe Haldeman, Christopher Ruocchio, Ethan Skarstedt & Brandon Sanderson, Quincy J. Allen, Harry Harrison, Karin Lowachee, Jason Cordova, John C. Wright, Allen Steele, Ron Goulart, George H. Smith, and Larry S. Todd. “[Davis and Ruocchio’s] mastery of the military SF and time travel subgenres is evident in their thoughtful selections. Fans of literate speculative fiction will hope for more from these experts.” —Publishers Weekly on Time Troopers “This intriguing anthology explores the human race’s violent potential [but] also bends toward exploration and the triumph of the human spirit, with brave tales [that] take the reader on a fascinating thought-provoking, enjoyable journey . . .” —Publishers Weekly on The Year’s Best Military SF and Space Opera, starred review Get Tomorrow's Troopers. |
