SIX BILLION DEAD. ONE MAN TO STOP THE KILLING.

The Terran Republic. The Terran League. Genocidal enemies. Members of the Five Hundred don't care. They are the social elite of the Heart Worlds, light-years from any threat of attack. Rear Admiral Terrence Murphy is of the Five Hundred. There is no end to how high he can rise in the Republic's power structure. But the powers-that-be have miscalculated. For Terence Murphy is a man of honor. He intends to stop to the killing. Terrence will end fifty-six years of bloodshed and slaughter—and Hell itself rides with him.

A new novel in the world of In Fury Born, one of David Weber's most celebrated novels.

LIFE AFTER THE BLACK TIDE APOCALYPSE

The world has been brought to its knees by the zombie virus. Nations have fallen, cities have been overrun by the infected, and the human race has come perilously close to extinction. But with the first winter come and gone, the infected have been reduced to not much more than a background nuisance and survivors around the world are taking stock and vowing to rebuild and rise up stronger, better—and most of all, unafraid and free!

All new stories set in the world of New York Times best-selling author John Ringo’s Black Tide Rising series.

Get We Shall Rise here.





THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THE STRONG OF HEART

Marshall Hunter only wanted to fly—the faster, the higher, the better. But Space Force has other plans for him: interplanetary search and rescue. Now a billionaire couple goes missing on their way to survey a near-Earth asteroid. The nuclear-powered Borman is dispatched on an audacious, high-speed interplanetary run to find the couple’s wayward spacecraft and bring them home. Yet as they approach the asteroid, the Borman itself becomes hopelessly disabled, while back in near-Earth Orbit, cislunar space falls into chaos as critical satellites fail and valuable lunar mineral shipments disappear in transit. Facing an impossible choice between salvation and sacrifice, Marshall Hunter has to find a way to save both his crewmates and Space Age civilization itself from an insidious foe!
