Roger Ramius Sergei Chiang MacClintock was young, handsome, athletic, an excellent dresser, and third in line for the Throne of Man. So it wasn’t surprising that he became spoiled, self-centered, and petulant. After all, what else did he have to do with his life? But that was before his mother...

Die erfolgreiche Military-Science-Fiction-Serie von Bestseller-Autor David Weber erstmals als Hörbuch! Der Planet Grayson spielt eine Schlüsselrolle im Konflikt zwischen Manticore und der Volksrepublik Haven. Das Außenministerium Ihrer Majestät der Königin übersieht jedoch eine "unbedeutende kulturelle Besonderheit", als es Honor Harrington beauftragt, auf Grayson für Ruhe und Ordnung zu sorgen: Dort besitzen Frauen weder Recht noch Stand; die bloße Anwesenheit Honors ist ein unerträglicher Affront.

Having made a superior look a fool, Honor Harrington has been exiled to Basilisk Station in disgrace and set up for ruin. Her demoralized crew blames her for their ship's humiliating posting to an out-of-the-way picket station. The aborigines of the system's only habitable planet are smoking homicide-inducing hallucinogens.

Peril and strife strike on a double front for Honor Harrington and company. After a brutal attack on the Manticoran home system, Honor Harrington and the Star Kingdom she serves battle back against a new, technologically powerful, and utterly nefarious enemy. And as if that weren’t task enough, Honor must also face down a centuries-old nemesis in the crumbling, but still mighty, Solarian League.

Im Sternenkönigreich Manticore herrscht weiterhin Streit darüber, in welche Flotte man am besten investiert. Während eine Partei an der Royal Manticoran Navy festhält, glaubt die andere, dass der Patrol and Rescue Service für die Verteidigung der kleinen Nation absolut ausreicht. Diese Grabenkämpfe kommen der Terranische Axelrod Corporation sehr gelegen, die im Sternsystem von Manticore einen Wurmlochknoten vermutet. Und sie sind bereit, diesen auch mit Gewalt unter ihre Kontrolle zu bringen.

It's hard to give peace a chance when the other side regards conquest as the only option and a sneak attack as the best means to that end. That's why the Kingdom of Manticore needs allies against the Republic of Haven, and the planet Grayson is strategically situated to make a very good ally indeed. But Her Majesty’s Foreign Office overlooked a “minor cultural difference” when they chose Honor Harrington to carry the flag: women on the planet of Grayson are without rank or rights and Honor’s mere presence is an intolerable affront to every male on the planet.

Die erfolgreiche Military-Science-Fiction-Serie von Bestseller-Autor David Weber erstmals als Hörbuch! Die Familien, welche die Republik von Haven regieren, stecken in Schwierigkeiten: Die Schatzkammern sind leer, das Volk ist unruhig, und ein Bürgerkrieg droht. Doch es gibt eine Taktik, die sich in der Vergangenheit bereits mehrfach bewährt hat: Ein kurzer Krieg muss her, ein schneller Sieg, der das Volk wieder eint und die Schatzkammern füllt.

Zwar wurde der Angriff der Republik von Haven erfolgreich abgewehrt, doch damit sind die Probleme des Königreiches Manticore noch nicht beendet. Honor findet sich unerwartet inmitten einer innerpolitischen Krise wieder, verraten von einem alten Feind, den sie schon lange besiegt geglaubt. Nun muss sie auf einem Schlachtfeld für Gerechtigkeit kämpfen, das ihr gänzlich unvertraut ist.

In The War God's Own, Bahzell had managed to stop a war by convincing Baron Tellian, leader of the Sothoii, to "surrender" to him, the War God's champion.

What's more, the flying coursers of the Sothoii have accepted Bahzell as a wind rider-the first hradani wind rider in history.

Know thyself. Its always good to know who you are, but sometimes that's a little difficult. Kenhodan has no last name because he has no past...or not one he remembers, anyway. What he does have are a lot of scars and a lot of skills - some exhilarating and some terrifying - and a purpose. Now, if he only knew where he'd gotten them and what their purpose was....

There he was in his sailboat in the middle of the Atlantic, all alone and loving it. Well, there was a US Navy carrier group on his southern horizon, but he was a Navy guy himself, so he didn't mind. Then came the UFOs, hurtling in from the Outer Black to overfly the carriers at Mach 17. Their impossible aerobatics were bad enough—but then they started shooting at each other, and at the Navy, with nukes. Little ones at first, but winding up with a 500 megatonner at 90 miles that fried every piece of electronics within line-of-sight.

Growing up, Travis Uriah Long yearned for order and discipline in his life...he two things his neglectful mother couldn’t or wouldn’t provide. So when Travis enlisted in the Royal Manticoran Navy, he thought he’d finally found the structure he’d always wanted so desperately. But life in the RMN isn’t exactly what he expected. Boot camp is rough and frustrating; his first ship assignment lax and disorderly; and with the Star Kingdom of Manticore still recovering from a devastating plague, the Navy is possibly on the edge of budgetary extinction.

Prince Roger MacClintock was heir to the galaxy’s Throne of Man and a spoiled young brat—that is, until he and his Royal Marines were stranded on the barbarian planet Marduk. So far, they’ve traversed a continent, taken over an enemy spaceport, and hijacked a starship. But they’re not...

After nearly dying as a victim of his own strength, Arthur Leywin wakes to find himself far from the continent where he was born for the second time. Alone, broken, and with no way to tell his family he’s alive, Arthur must rebuild his strength to survive. As he ascends through an ancient dungeon filled with hostile beasts and devious trials, he discovers an ancient, absolute power - a power that will either ruin him or take him to new heights.
