Problems, Problems, Problems . . . The world had been a paradise until the Fall, when the holders of the control codes for the world-spanning program called "Mother" fell out in civil war. The United Free States felt well defended behind its screen of elite Dragon carriers that held sway in the Atlantis Ocean. But when New Destiny proved to have dragon carriers of its own, and more of them, the linch-pin of the UFS defense went out the window. Now, with the UFS'' back to the wall, everything seems to be going New Destiny''s way. But there are problems. Edmund Talbot had never really studied naval warfare, but what he didn''t know about war in general hadn''t been written. So when he took over the UFS navy, at its moment of utter defeat, New Destiny''s problems were just starting. And little did the instigator of the civil war, Paul Boman, know that his closest confidante was the daughter of the UFS'' head of intelligence. Megan Travante, for four years mired in a concubine''s harem, has just been recruited to be an agent in the enemy camp. Of course, she''s also planning on murdering Paul, just as soon as she gets a chance. Herzer Herrick, the UFS'' premier ground fighter, has problems of his own. A man who''s "good with his hands" he''s also found he''s good with a dragon. Which is why he''s the XO of a dragon contingent instead of fighting in the front lines of the ground battle. With a crew of brand new pilots, undertrained dragons, untrained support personnel, the bitchiest dragon CO on Earth and a ship''s commander who''s half cat, he has enough problems for any one man. And then he gets an order that drops a whole passel more in his lap. The battle of dragon carrier on dragon carrier is about to start, with the fleets pursuing each other over half the Atlantis Ocean in a game of cat-and-mouse. But all the cats are on the side of the UFS. At the publisher''s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

A Deranged Human Who Lives to Deal Death Stalks an Alien Who Cannot Bear to Kill, with the Galaxy''s Future in the Balance. Science Fiction Adventure in the Posleen War Universe from a New York Times Best-Selling Author and a New Star of Military Science Fiction. It''s a matter of trust. For thousands of years the Darhel, a warrior species conditioned to be incapable of killing, manipulated and controlled the human race. Then the humans threw off their yoke and, as humans tend to do, attempted to exterminate them. Now, for the first time, a Darhel has been assigned to the elite Deep Reconnaissance Team commandos. Trust, in a small unit, is vital. And there was no trust to be had on either side. But when the mission encountered an alien device worth more than a king''s ransom, it was the humans who betrayed the trust. Now the despised Darhel must race against the team''s sniper to prevent the artifact falling into the wrong hands. The Darhel has empathic powers, superhuman strength and the speed of a cheetah. The sniper has years of experience and enormous ability. The sniper can kill. The Darhel cannot. The fate of the galaxy and the human race for the next thousand years hangs in the balance and that balance rests on the shoulders of a Darhel.

The council that controls the Net falls out and goes to war. Everywhere people who have never known a moment of want or pain are left wondering how to survive.
