Thomas the Rhymer, legendary 12th century figure of traditional Scottish balladry, as you've never seen him before.
Rhymer brings to life Thomas the Rhymer, legendary 12th century figure of traditional Scottish balladry, as a champion who must battle the diabolical Yvag—an alien race thought to be elves and faeries—hellbent on conquering our world. This saga pits Thomas against the near-immortal elves, first with only his wits, then with powers of his own that enable him to take on these evil creatures throughout the centuries. He’s known by many names over time—Tam Lin, Robin Hood, and numerous other incarnations reaching into the present—but at his heart he is still True Thomas, one man doing all he can to save us all from a powerful foe.
When his brother is snatched right before his eyes, Thomas hunts for justice and discovers that not only do these “elves” steal people, but they also are skinwalkers who occupy humans in positions of power. Their goal: to obliterate humanity and take over our world. When Thomas is dragged into their alien realm, he’s imprisoned and barely escapes alive, but in the process he gains near-immortality and the ability to transform himself. Will it be enough to protect his loved ones and defeat this powerful foe?

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 2023.

BOOK TWO IN A NEW SERIES FROM CELEBRATED AUTHOR GREGORY FROST
It’s been nearly a century since Thomas Rimor last battled Yvag knights. In
that time his wife and daughter have grown old and died, and he has discovered
that he ages not at all. The elven world believes him long dead.
In his grief, he has retreated to the depths of Sherwood and Barnsdale
Forests and become a hermit, lost in his memories, his grief. But the arrival of a
dying outlaw on his doorstep with items stolen from an Yvag skinwalker
sets in motion events that thrust Thomas back into the world
and forces him into combat with Queen Nicnevin’s soldiers once again,
including this time his late sister’s changeling daughter and the Queen’s
own grotesque offspring, Bragrender.
As Thomas takes on two sheriffs of Nottingham and a horde of Yvag
raiders, he enlists the aid of outlaws Little John and Will Scathelocke,
and the Keeper of Sherwood Forest herself, Isabella Birkin, who sets him
on a path back to humanity. To keep his true identity hidden from the
Yvags, he creates an alter-ego named Robyn Hoode, whose exploits,
unbeknown to Thomas, are about to become the stuff of legend.
