New Fiction and Nonfiction at Baen.com

story graphic Custom Order

Noah Parker has made a name for himself, designing genetically engineered dragons for Reptilian Corp. Of course, most of his day is writing genetic code for one of the many “standard model” dragons his company produces. But every now and then, he gets a crack at creating something custom for a high-paying customer. Always a challenge, these custom jobs help break up the day-to-day of his job—hey, even creating dragons can get boring if you do it long enough! But when an order for a fire-breathing dragon crosses his desk—a heretofore unheard of request—Noah Parker will have to use all his skills to get the job done.

Read “Fire-Breathing Dragon,” by Dan Koboldt, here.






The Way to Space

In Joelle Presby’s The Dabare Snake Launcher, the race is on to build the world’s first space elevator. But creating such an engineering miracle is no easy task. While the novel is not short on technical detail, we thought readers might be interested in a closer look at what it might really take to build a space elevator. Here then, Andy Presby’s “fiction non-fiction” article “Origins of the West African Launcher from TCG Files.”

David Sandner
& Jacob Weisman


When Kenny, a great musician who knows how to "play from the soul," goes missing, his brother searches for him at a crossroad and an old speakeasy, where the cold, dark shadows of spirit and music lead him to a musician who may know if Kenny is alive . . . or dead.

A Slice of the Dark
Karen Heuler

If you got a mysterious box that said, Do Not Open, would you open it? If your fingers revolted and wanted a different job, would you agree? If you thought about becoming Death’s lover what would you do? In these stories, it’s not hard to find yourself one step outside the normal.

Artie’s Bark
Jason Savio

There’s a difference between curses and hauntings. Curses can be broken. Brighton Falls is like any other safe, ho-hum town in America with a bad baseball team, clean sidewalks, and nosy neighbors. That all changes, however, when a pet is brutally killed and other animals begin to go missing, one by one.

Domain
Mark Baron

As a serial killer stalks the young and vulnerable, a couple hold a séance, and a Hollywood dream house turns into a nightmare as deaths pile up and a monstrous specter stalks the land.
