FREEDOM AND JUSTICE -- AMERICAN STYLE 1632 And in northern Germany
things couldn't get much worse. Famine. Disease. Religous war
laying waste the cities. Only the aristocrats remained relatively
unscathed; for the peasants, death was a mercy. 2000 Things are
going OK in Grantville, West Virginia, and everybody attending the
wedding of Mike Stearn's sister (including the entire local chapter
of the United Mine Workers of America, which Mike leads) is having
a good time. THEN, EVERYTHING CHANGED.... When the dust settles,
Mike leads a group of armed miners to find out what happened and
finds the road into town is cut, as with a sword. On the other
side, a scene out of Hell: a man nailed to a farmhouse door, his
wife and daughter attacked by men in steel vests. Faced with this,
Mike and his friends don't have to ask who to shoot. At that moment
Freedom and Justice, American style, are introduced to the middle
of the Thirty Years' War. Comprehensive Teacher's Guide available.

Beginning a new blockbuster series set in the Honorverse- the
universe of Honour Harrington. The Star Kingdom's ally Erewhon is
growing increasingly restive in the alliance because the new High
Ridge regime ignores its needs. Add to that the longstanding
problem of a slave labour planet controlled by hostile Mesans in
Erewhon's stellar backyard, a problem which High Ridge also
ignores. Finally, the recent assassination of the Solarian League's
most prominent voice of public conscience indicates the growing
danger of political instability in the Solarian League - which is
also close to Erewhon. In desperation, Queen Elizabeth tries to
defuse the situation by sending a private mission to Erewhon led by
Captain Zilwicki, and accompanied by one of her nieces. When they
arrive on Erewhon, however, Manticore's most capable agent and one
of its princesses find themselves in a mess. Not only do they
encounter one of the Republic of Haven's most capable agents -
Victor Cachat - but they also discover that the Solarian League's
military delegation seems up to its neck in skulduggery. the
Audubon Ball-room, is also on the scene-led by its most notorious
killer, Jeremy X.
