Adventure and Intrigue in the East

The United States of Europe is beset by enemies on all sides. The USE needs a reliable source of opiates for those wounded in action, as well as other goods not available in Europe. The prime minister of the USE, Mike Stearns, sends a mission to the Mughal Empire of India with the aim of securing a trade deal with the Mughal emperor. What they find is an empire embroiled in fractious politicking and teetering on the brink of war. But in the midst of these intrigues, the USE mission finds an ally: the brilliant and beautiful Jahanara Begum, the eldest daughter of the emperor.

Limited Leatherbound Edition

The second entry in Larry Correia’s best-selling Monster Hunter International series in a stunning leatherbound edition, signed by the author.

Owen Zastava Pitt managed to stop the nefarious Old One’s invasion plans last year, but as a result made an enemy out of one of the most powerful beings in the universe. Now, Owen and the staff of Monster Hunter International don’t need to go hunting, because this time the monsters are hunting them. Fortunately, this bait is armed and very dangerous.




The Torturer’s Shadow

Andrej Koscuisko is a former Fleet Medical Officer for the enormous totalitarian star empire, the Jurisdiction. But when he served in the Fleet, Andrej’s real job was not medicine, but to act as a torturer. Years ago, he left that life behind. But now The Angel of Death, a savage terrorist organization, means to capture the system he calls home. The only way to bring down an organization that has slain whole systems of men, women, and children is for Andrej to embrace the savagery in his own heart and once again take on the role of Judicial torturer.
