The arrogance of success. The criminality of using it to crush people under one's thumb. A license to destroy. More than a single life, entire cultures replaced. For a few credits more. Find the crime! Rivka can't touch him or can she? Will he allow it? In this part of space, he calls the shots. The Federation is on the outside looking in. From the frontier, a single business starts to take over. Not a crime family, like Nefas, but a single individual forcing people to sell their souls. Unlimited power. Like Satan has returned and demanded payment.

He'd been an important part of the team putting together the International Data Bank, which would track every single move made by every single human being. As the project neared completion, he realized that no one would ever truly be free again. At the very last moment he blanked his file, changed his face, and created a back door into the system.

Erstmals seit Kriegsbeginn ist das Vereinigte Koloniale Königreich in der Offensive. In Dutzenden kleiner Scharmützel und Gefechte fügen sie den Invasionsstreitkräften der Solaren Republik immer wieder schwere Verluste zu. Doch diese stehen unter neuer Führung und sind dabei, sich zu erholen. Das Königreich steht kurz davor, die unter so bitteren Opfern erkämpfte Initiative wieder zu verlieren. Allen Beteiligten ist klar, ein Symbol muss her, um den Menschen aller besiedelten Welten vor Augen zu führen, dass das Königreich keineswegs tot ist. Dieses Symbol ist Castor Prime.

Best-selling author David Drake has been creating top-notch military science fiction, space opera, and fantasy novels and stories for decades. In this all-original collection, a stellar line-up of writers pays tribute to Drake with stories as broad in range as his own fiction.

Jon Moore grew up in a prison laboratory. When he escaped with nothing but his body's nanotech enhancements and more anger than even a long lifetime could wash away, an entire planet died behind him. Memories of the things he’d done still haunted him; because of them, he often ended up helping those in need. His kindnesses frequently didn't work out well. This one really didn't work out well. This one really didn't work out well. It hurled Jon and Lobo, the intelligent assault vehicle and Jon's only friend, down an accelerating, ever more dangerous spiral.

The job looks simple enough: Jon Moore, the nanotech-enhanced, world-weary, soldier of fortune, agrees to help a con man, a friend from a part of his past he’d rather forget, protect a very special young boy. The deal doesn’t stay simple, as each move Jon and Lobo make results in more danger and more enemies. The situation grows even more complicated when a beautiful woman with an unclear agenda joins them in their quest.

No child should ever be a soldier. Jon Moore knew that better than most, having learned to fight to survive before he’d hit puberty. So when a former comrade, Alissa Lim, asks for his help in rescuing a group of children pressed into service by rebels on a planet no one cares to save, he agrees. Only later does he realize he’s signed up to do far more than he’d ever imagined.

Haunted by memories of children he could not save, Jon Moore is so increasingly self-destructive that even his best friend, the hyper-intelligent Predator-Class Assault Vehicle, Lobo, is worried. When Jon risks meeting a woman from his distant past and undertakes a high-stakes mission, Lobo fears this will be their last. The job is illegal. They have to take on one of the oldest, most powerful men alive. Two different security forces are tracking them. And Jon is falling in love.

Jon Moore wanted only to relax on the pristine planet of Macken - but Macken was the secret battleground of two megacorporations, both determined to control the local jump gate and the riches of an undeveloped world. Moore was too valuable a tool not to be used, whether or not he was willing. What the corporations didn't realize was that Moore had a mind of his own and a conscience that wouldn't let him quit until he'd righted their wrong. And Moore had Lobo - or just possibly, Lobo had Jon Moore, because this Assault Vehicle had a mind of its own,

Over a decade has passed since the queen of the Colony began her apocalyptic war with the humans. In the aftermath, she leaves behind a strange legacy: a race of uplifted animals, the queen’s conscripts in the war effort, now trying to make their way in the world they destroyed. While the conflict has left deep scars, it has also allowed both sides to demonstrate feats of courage and compassion that were never possible before. And now, after years of bloodshed, the survivors have a fleeting chance to build a lasting peace.

For Agent Ciris, the mission should have been simple: get in, apprehend the target, get out. But when the simple snatch and grab goes horribly awry, the world’s first cyborg finds herself backed into a corner. At odds with her superiors, she becomes embroiled in two conspiracies—one intended to destroy her with a cybernetic virus that will neutralize the technology that keeps her alive, the other intended to keep hidden the untold secrets of her origin.

The race to Mars had ended generations ago, pushing those seeking fame to venture beyond known borders. Major corporations battled to be first in securing resources and the future, vying for ownership of a new galaxy, akin to historical westward settlers. A single blinking red light signaled a seismic shift—a colossal deposit of zosmodious ore that eclipsed all others. The catch? It lay on an uncharted planet, Code Name Viridian. Could this audacious find reshape the course of humanity, transcending even human boundaries?

Белому нужно извернуться, чтобы не загубить свой игровой прогресс, добиться поставленных целей и. остаться в живых, поскольку охота на него не прекращалась.

Zum ersten Mal seit Kriegsende befindet sich eine Hinradystreitmacht über Vector Prime. Die Hauptstadt Cibola erlebt den schwersten Angriff seit dem Abzug der Nefraltiri. Jackuryhorden und Hinrady-Kriegstrupps ziehen mordend und brandschatzend durch die Straßen der belagerten Metropole. Lieutenant General Finn Delgado organisiert mit den wenigen verbliebenen Einheiten des Planeten eine verzweifelte Verteidigung. Als den Angreifern während der erbitterten Kämpfe auch noch eine wichtige Geisel in die Hände fällt und ein Hinradyschiff mit ihr entkommt, gerät die Lage vollends außer Kontrolle.

Der Krieg gegen die völkermordenden Nefraltiri und ihre Sklavenarmeen endete vor sieben Jahren mit der Schlacht am Riss. Seither ist die Menschheit mit Aufräumarbeiten beschäftigt. Die Clans der Hinrady haben sich über eine Vielzahl von durch den Krieg entvölkerten Welten ausgebreitet. Ihre illegalen Siedlungen bedrohen weiterhin Systeme und Schiffsverkehr von Menschen und Drizil. Die Terranisch-Republikanische Liga ist im Zuge mehrerer Operationen dabei, die Hinrady aus ihren Schlupfwinkeln zu treiben.
