Against the Odds "The worst has happened: Fleet is tearing itself apart. Some of the mutineers see injustice in the unequal spread of the rejuvenation drugs that offer virtual immortality to the rich; others are simply thirsty for power, or for blood. The Loyalists, meanwhile, fight desperately to preserve the rule of law in Familias Regnant space. But when Esmay Suiza-Serrano is unceremoniously booted out of the Fleet, the apparent victim of Family politics, she has no idea of the whirlwind of conflict into which she is about to be drawn. As the noose tightens on galactic civilization, great battles and greater loves affirmed…and old friends will meet their destinies.”

Command Decision “Once the black-sheep scion of a prosperous merchant family, Kylara Vatta now leads a motley space force dedicated to the defeat of the mysterious Gammis Turek and his rapacious pirate empire. Turek’s first mistake was killing Kylara’s family; his second was leaving her alive. Now Kylara is going to make Turek and his marauders pay. But with a “fleet” consisting of only three ships, Kylara needs allies, and fast. New treachery is unfolding – and a diabolical discovery will send shock waves across the galaxy, crashing into Kylara’s newly christened Space Defense Force at the worst possible moment.”

Generation Warriors Written with Anne McCaffrey. “Meet the people who save the Galaxy… Lunzie, fresh from her adventures in The Death of Sleep, has discovered that the one good heavyworlder she ever met isn’t so good after all… Fordeliton, sent off to investigate the connection between the super-rich and the planet pirates, is now dying of a mysterious slow poison. His aunt’s spiritual advisor wants to give him her “special cure.” Dupaynil, having made the mistake of pushing Sassinak too far, has been exiled to Seti space aboard a tiny escort vessel – where he’s discovered that the crew are in the pay of the planet pirates… Aygar, the idealistic young Iretan, is out to prove he has brains as well as heavyworlder brawn…but there are plenty who’d like to blow them out before he can learn to use them. Then there’s Sassinak, ordered to report to FedCentral for the trial of the mutineer Tanegli. She’d been told to disarm her ship when it enters restricted space; she’d been told her crew can’t have liberty or leave; and she’d been told to follow all the rules. You remember Sassinak…the only person who might be able to stop the disaster ahead has never been one to follow the rules…”

Hunting Party "Heris Serrano was an officer born of a long line of officers. Being forced by a treacherous superior to resign her commission under a cloud was not just the end of a career path: it was the end of everything that gave her life meaning. Still, even ex-captains grieving for lost careers must eat, and Heris has wound up as “Captain” of an interstellar luxury yacht. Being a rich old lady’s hyperlight chauffeur isn’t quite the same as captaining a dreadnought, but nothing Heris will ever do again will compare to that. Or so she thinks…For all is not as it seems aboard the good ship Sweet Delight, and soon Heris finds herself fighting for her life against as varied and villainous a bunch of cutthroats, smugglers, and “sportsmen” as ever had the misfortune to cross her path when she was a captain of the fleet.”

Liar’s Oath "When Gird led his peasant people against their Mage-Born rulers, he knew his right hand and sworn follower was the King’s bastard. But though Luap had promised to seek no throne, and had renounced his heritage, he could not forget his past – and when he discovered a distant land, which he could reach by magic, he thought he could change his mind. If Gird never knew, if it didn’t hurt anyone, why not break the Oath? In the distant western mountains, in a sanctuary abandoned by the elder races, Luap found out why…and so did those who followed him. By the end, Luap will have gotten himself in so much trouble that his only hope will lie in rescue by the greatest Paladin of them all – and Paksenarrion will not be born for five hundred years..."

Marque and Reprisal "Though the exciting military career she hoped for never materialized, Ky Vatta still sees plenty of combat. An unknown adversary has launched a full-throttle offensive against Vatta Transport Ltd., Ky’s father’s interstellar shipping empire – killing most of Ky’s family. Fighting for her very survival, Ky is determined to avenge her family’s deaths. Teaming up with a band of stranded mercenaries, her black-sheep cousin Stella, and Stella’s roguish ex-lover, Ky struggles to penetrate the tangled web of political intrigue that surrounds the attacks. Amid suspicion and deception, she is prepared to take whatever measures are necessary to ensure that Vatta stays in business. What she’s not prepared for is the shocking truth behind the terror – and a confrontation with murderous treachery..."

Once a Hero "Esmay Suiza wasn’t a member of a great Navy family like the Serranos. She’d had to make her way on grit alone, which meant it wasn’t likely she’d ever make admiral and “hoist her own flag.” Well, that was fine with her: all Esmay wanted was a secure berth where she could be part of something greater than herself and otherwise just live her life in peace. But what we want or think we want from life and what we get are seldom the same – and one day Esmay found herself in the middle of a space battle, and the senior surviving officer in a mutiny against a traitorous captain. Suddenly she had no choice: she must take command and win – and thereby become both the youngest and lowest ranking member of the Fleet to win a major battle. While Esmay may not want to be a hero, it looks like she just can’t help it, because Once A Hero..."

Rules of Engagement "Esmay Suiza and Brun Meager should be friends – they’re both bright, brave, likable and adventurous. But true friendship doesn’t run any smoother than true love. Brun thinks Esmay’s a stuck-up prig, and Esmay thinks Brun’s a spoiled rich brat who’s making a play for Barin Serrano, Esmay’s first love. So when Brun falls into the hands of a repressive religious militia movement, Esmay finds herself in disgrace, suspected of conniving the capture. Even Barin, now being pursued by the beautiful and ambitious Casea Ferradi, has turned against her, and Brun’s powerful family doesn’t want Esmay anywhere near the rescue attempt. Meanwhile, Brun has to figure out how to survive as a pregnant, barefoot prisoner on a planet where female captives are surgically muted to keep them from contaminating others. Her luck may have run out, but her courage hasn’t – she’s determined to free not only herself, but also other, younger captives. This burst of initiative imperils her own rescue, and it will take double her own luck to save her."

Sassinak Written with Anne McCaffrey. “Sassinak was twelve when the raiders came. That made her just the right age: old enough to be used, young enough to be broken. Or so the slavers thought. But Sassy turned out to be a little different from your typical slave girl. Maybe it was her unusual physical strength. Maybe it was her friendship with the captured Fleet crewman. Maybe it was her spirit. Whatever it was, it wouldn’t let her resign herself to the life of a slave. She bided her time, watched for her moment. Finally it came, and she escaped. But that was only the beginning for Sassinak. Now she’s a Fleet Captain with a pirate-chasing ship of her own, and only one regret in her life: not enough pirates.”

Surrender None : The Legacy of Gird "In the three books of The Deed of Paksenarrion Elizabeth Moon swept us away to an extraordinary fanstasy world where we met a Sheepfarmer’s Daughter and watched her become first a warrior among warriors, and then a paladin beyond compare. But Paks could never have become a fighter at all – to say nothing of a paladin dedicated to the extirpation of evil – had it not been for him who had come before: Gird, the bumptious peasant. Gird, the Armsman. Gird the Liberator, who taught his people that they could fight – and win – against oppression. This is his story..."
