Praise for The Deed of Paksenarrion series:
“One of the absolute classics of military fantasy. A masterful blend of the reality of military life with the magic and worldbuilding of the best fantasy. Paksennarion is one of the greatest military fantasy characters of all time. Captures the essence of what it’s like to be a soldier and makes you feel like you’re part of the unit.” —Michael Mammay, Col. (retired), author of Planetside

Praise for Elizabeth Moon:
“Excellent plotting and characters support the utterly realistic action sequences: swift, jolting, confusing, and merciless. It’s a corker!” —Kirkus Reviews

“Moon has created a richly imagined universe of different cultures, replete with intriguing characters and the sense of unlimited possibility that characterizes the most appealing science fiction.” —School Library Journal

“Rip-roaring action and intriguing science and tactics . . . [a] grand space opera tour de force.” —Publishers Weekly
 
“[T]he first work of high heroic fantasy I’ve seen that has taken the work of Tolkien, assimilated it totally and deeply and absolutely, and produced something altogether new and yet incontestably based on the master . . . [Moon’s] military knowledge is impressive, her picture of life in a mercenary company most convincing. I’m deeply impressed.” —Judith Tarr

“Engrossing . . .” —Anne McCaffrey

“A tour de force . . .” —Jack McDevitt

“Superlative . . .” —Booklist
 
“Brilliant . . . the excitement of high heroic adventure . . . will enchant the reader.” —Bookwatch

The Throne Lies Empty!

Nature abhors a vacuum. And the empty throne of Horngard is no exception. In the absence of a king, the land has been given over to bandits, its potential squandered, its people exploited. Strategically important, the powerful Dragon moves to install one of his own dragonkin there.

But there are other forces who covet Horngard. And they will not let it go without a fight. . . .

The fates of two pairs of siblings are the key to Horngard’s future: Mikeli and Camwyn, Gwenno and Aris. Will they have what it takes to triumph?

Get Horngard here.

Praise for S.M. Stirling:
“Stirling’s strengths—notably his deep historical research and his apt hand for action sequences—are at the forefront . . .” —Asimov's on To Turn the Tide

“To Turn the Tide is an exhilarating return to alternate history from a grandmaster of the genre, and it shouldn’t be missed.”
—Analog SF Magazine

Praise for Melissa Olthoff:
“Olthoff creates not only a believable and immersive world, but populates it with people whom you can respect, understand, care for, and sometimes want to punch in the face . . .”
—Jody Lynn Nye, New York Times best-selling author, on Rise from Ruin

“Olthoff’s veteran experience shines through in the authenticity of her character interactions and dynamics. She knows what it’s like to drive yourself to the breaking point in order to keep your brothers- and sisters-in-arms alive . . . and it shows.”
—Kacey Ezell, USAF Retired, coauthor of The Romanov Reign series on To Tread Obsidian Shores

Rome Never Fell.

To save mankind from nuclear doom, time travelers brought future technology to a faltering Rome (as chronicled in To Turn the Tide and its sequels). This Roman Empire conquered the world and united mankind before spreading across the solar system and beyond—where they discovered they hadn’t united all of mankind. Nor was Rome the only civilization expanding into the galaxy. For the first time in centuries, Rome is both challenged and once again facing barbarian hordes.

When a Roman colony world is invaded by the Gra’ak, an alliance of Fallen Empire barbarians, Emperor Marcus Verus Augustus Caesar charges what can be spared of the Roman Navy and Legions with reclaiming it. Because once a world was beneath the wings of the Eagles, it was guaranteed the protection of their talons.

Commander Aquila Amphion is tasked with leading the fleet, and she embraces the responsibility for both professional and personal reasons. The Gra’ak threatened to extinguish three million Roman citizens, among them the one man who meant more to her than any other—Evander Triarius, the scion of one of Rome’s noblest families . . . and her fiancé.

Driven by duty and love, Aquila devises a bold plan to not just save their colony, but to take the fight to the Gra’ak home world and conquer it for the Roman Empire.

Imperium sine fine.

Empire without limits.
