The Thirty Years War continues to ravage 17th century Europe, but a

When the strange fossil she'd discovered had ended up giving her a
trip to Mars, Helen Sutter thought she'd gone about as far as any

married A.J. Baker, overconfident super- sensor expert for the only
private agency in space - the Ares Corporation -- and your best
friend Madeline Fathom Buckley is a former secret agent who's just
signed on as the chief of security for the newly created and
already embattled Interplanetary Research Institute of the United
Nations, there's always somewhere farther to go.
The newest discoveries will take her, A.J., and their friends
Jackie, Joe, and Madeline to the mysterious asteroid Ceres - and
beyond, in a desperate race to Jupiter's perilous miniature system
of radiation- bombarded moons. The next gold rush is on - for alien
technology, hidden in lost bases around the system. And there are
people willing to do anything to get it - even plan the first

The Thirty Years War continues to ravage 17th century Europe, but a
new force is gathering power and influence: the Confederated
Principalities of Europe, an alliance between Gustavus Adolphus,
King of Sweden, and the West Virginians from the 20th century led
by Mike Stearns who were hurled centuries into the past by a
mysterious cosmic accident. Inspired by the example of American
freedom and justice, a movement in Franconia among the peasants,
who have revolted several times even before the arrival from the
future of the town of Grantville, an independent revolutionary
movement has arisen, flying the banner of the head of a ram. The
West Virginians fully approve of liberating the peasants from the
nobility, but they are also aware of how revolutionary movements
can lead to bloodbaths. And avoiding that deadly possibility will
require all of their future knowledge and all their plain old
American horse-trading diplomacy. . . .

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.
