WORST TWO OUT OF THREE When a 60 kiloton nuclear explosion destroys the University of Central Florida, terrorism is the first suspect. But terrorists don''t generally leave doorways to another world in their wake. Or, rather, a generator of doorways to multiple other worlds. With time of the essence, the Secretary of Defense scrounges up the nearest physicist with a high level security clearance. With doctorates in everything from nuclear physics to electrical engineering, William Weaver, PhD, is the egghead''s egghead. On the other hand, with skills in everything from mountain biking to screaming electric guitar, he''s also fast enough and tough enough to survive when the alien gates start disgorging "demons." As a snap decision, he appears to be the perfect choice, smart, tough and capable. Now if he could only patch things up with his girlfriend, get his boss off his back and get his cellphone bill paid. Oh, yeah, and figure out why the heck these gates keep opening. Okay, so sometimes he''s got priority issues. As the gates spread and evil aliens spread with them, it is up to Weaver and SEAL Command Master Chief Miller to find a way to stop the proliferation and close the hostile gates. The problem being that the only way they can see to save the earth is destroy it. Then there''s not going to be any more girlfriends or cellphones or bosses . . . Hmmm... Okay, two out of three of those are bad. They''re really, really bad. Bad on toast. Bad like the Pacific is watery. Every day a Monday, bad. One and a half at the very least. Worst two out of three. Gotta prioritize. Guess Weaver and Miller are just gonna have to save the world. At the publisher''s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

March To The Sea

THE ROYAL BRAT IS IN TROUBLE Roger Ramius Sergei Chiang MacClintock didn''t understand. He was young, handsome, athletic, an excellent dresser, and third in line for the Throne of Man ... so why wouldn''t anyone at Court trust him. Why wouldn''t even his own mother, the Empress, explain why they didn''t trust him Or why the very mention of his father''s name was forbidden at Court Or why his mother had decided to pack him off to a backwater planet aboard what was little more than a tramp freighter to represent her at a local political event better suited to a third assistant undersecretary of state It probably wasn''t too surprising that someone in his position should react by becoming spoiled, self-centered, and petulant. After all, what else did he have to do with his life. But that was before a saboteur tried to blow up his transport. Then warships of the Empire of Man''s worst rivals shot the crippled vessel out of space. Then Roger found himself shipwrecked on the planet Marduk, whose jungles were full of damnbeasts, killerpillars, carnivorous plants, torrential rain, and barbarian hordes with really bad dispositions. Now all Roger has to do is hike halfway around the entire planet, then capture a spaceport from the Bad Guys, somehow commandeer a starship, and then go home to Mother for explanations. Fortunately, Roger has an ace in the hole: Bravo Company of Bronze Battalion of The Empress'' Own Regiment. If anyone can get him off Marduk alive, it''s the Bronze Barbarians. Assuming that Prince Roger manages to grow up before he gets all of them killed. At the publisher''s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
