Doctor Benjamin Schröder was far from a man of action. In fact, he was a history teacher - chairman of the Castle Rock University history department - and if his life wasn't perfect, it was close. Until, that is the discussion of his star student Elzbietá Abramowski's dissertation on Operation Oz, the Pacific Allies' invasion of Vladivostok, was brutally interrupted. The psychotic episode that turned his entire world upside down struck with absolutely no warning, and it was more terrifying than anything he should have been able to imagine.

Die erfolgreiche Military-Science-Fiction-Serie von Bestseller-Autor David Weber erstmals als Hörbuch! Manchmal ist es für Admiral Lady Dame Honor Harrington alles andere als leicht zu entscheiden, wer der Feind wirklich ist.

Die Sache hat nur einen Haken. Wieder gewöhnlicher Captain, muss sie das Kommando über ein "Geschwader" aus aufgemotzten bewaffneten Handelsschiffen übernehmen, deren Besatzungen sich aus dem Bodensatz der Flotte rekrutieren.

Die erfolgreiche Military-Science-Fiction-Serie von Bestseller-Autor David Weber erstmals als Hörbuch! Ein neues, in sich abgeschlossenes Abenteuer um die schillernde Honor - diesmal im Exil. Wenn C. S. Forester, der Autor der Horatio-Hornblower-Romane, Science Fiction geschrieben hätte: Dies hier wäre das Resultat.

After the disastrous attack on the Manticoran home system by forces unknown, the Royal Manticoran Navy stands on the brink of collapse. A shadowy enemy with the resources to hurl warships across hundreds of light years seeks to conquer the Star Kingdom for reasons unknown, while forces from within Manticore's own government seek to discredit and weaken the Navy for reasons very much known: their own political gain.

Auch in diesem Abenteuer hat Honor Harrington es wieder einmal mit allerlei Widrigkeiten zu tun. Zwar wurde der Angriff der Republik von Haven erfolgreich abgewehrt, doch damit sind die Probleme des Königreiches Manticore noch nicht beendet. Honor findet sich unerwartet inmitten einer innerpolitischen Krise wieder, verraten von einem alten Feind, den sie schon lange besiegt geglaubt. Nun muss sie auf einem Schlachtfeld für Gerechtigkeit kämpfen, das ihr gänzlich unvertraut ist.

Words from My Father is the collected works of writing over the last seven years. Many of the notes are profound family experiences, told in the light of living our faith. Some are social commentary also told in the light of living our faith. Each was originally sent as an email to family and friends. All were written and sent wrapped in the hope and prayer that what our Lord has asked is what is revealed in every note.

Im Sternenkönigreich Manticore herrscht weiterhin Streit darüber, in welche Flotte man am besten investiert. Während eine Partei an der Royal Manticoran Navy festhält, glaubt die andere, dass der Patrol and Rescue Service für die Verteidigung der kleinen Nation absolut ausreicht. Diese Grabenkämpfe kommen der Terranische Axelrod Corporation sehr gelegen, die im Sternsystem von Manticore einen Wurmlochknoten vermutet. Und sie sind bereit, diesen auch mit Gewalt unter ihre Kontrolle zu bringen.

Travis Long, Rekrut bei der Royal Manticoran Navy, stellt schnell fest, dass der Dienst nicht das ist, was er sich vorgestellt hat. Die Disziplin ist lasch, die Schiffe sind uralt, und für die nötigen Reparaturen fehlt das Geld. Deswegen planen einige Politiker des Sternenkönigreichs Manticore die Raumflotte zu verschrotten. Immerhin ist weit und breit kein Feind in Sicht.

Lieutenant Travis Long of the Royal Manticoran Navy is the sort of person who likes an orderly universe. One where people follow the rules. Unfortunately he lives in the real universe. The good news is that Travis is one of those rare people who may like rules but has a talent for thinking outside them when everything starts coming apart. That talent has stood him - and the Star Kingdom - in good stead in the past, and it's one reason he's now a "mustang" - an ex-enlisted man who's been given a commission.

Know thyself. Its always good to know who you are, but sometimes that's a little difficult. Kenhodan has no last name because he has no past...or not one he remembers, anyway. What he does have are a lot of scars and a lot of skills - some exhilarating and some terrifying - and a purpose. Now, if he only knew where he'd gotten them and what their purpose was....

Growing up, Travis Uriah Long yearned for order and discipline in his life...he two things his neglectful mother couldn’t or wouldn’t provide. So when Travis enlisted in the Royal Manticoran Navy, he thought he’d finally found the structure he’d always wanted so desperately. But life in the RMN isn’t exactly what he expected. Boot camp is rough and frustrating; his first ship assignment lax and disorderly; and with the Star Kingdom of Manticore still recovering from a devastating plague, the Navy is possibly on the edge of budgetary extinction.

No one wanted another war. Thomas Theisman didn't. After risking his life and a fresh round of civil war to overthrow the Committee of Public Safety's reign of terror and restore the Republic of Haven's ancient Constitution, an interstellar war was the last thing he wanted. Baron High Ridge didn't. The Prime Minister of Manticore was perfectly happy with the war he had. No one was shooting anyone else at the moment, and as long as he could spin out negotiations on the formal treaty of peace, his government could continue to milk all those "hostilities only" tax measures for their own partisan projects.

In Wind Rider’s Oath, Bahzell became a wind rider - the first hradani wind rider in history. And, even if Bahzell is the War God’s champion, because the wind riders are the elite of the elite among the Sothoii, Bahzell’s ascension is as likely to stir resentment as respect. What’s more, Baron Tellian’s daughter, the heir to the realm, seems to be thinking that he is the only man - or hradani - for her. Now, War Maid’s Choice continues the story - and things really get complicated.
