About this listen
Empress Regent Hiroko gave Admiral Julie Adams a simple order. Go to the Zenkarr system and solve the Teddy Bear problem. But like all things in life, simple orders don’t always mean simple solutions. Even before entering the home system of the devious race, Julie was forced to fight a pitched battle against the Zenkarr fleet.
The new War Leader doesn’t have enough firepower to defeat the Zenkarr Fleet…but neither can she pull her forces back to Earth, as Emperor Hazard’s commitments to other alien races in the region make that impossible.
To extract the empire from the situation while still defending its allies will force Julie to think outside the box, and she’ll need to use all her guile—and surprisingly, her diplomacy—to solve the problem. But most of all, Julie Adams will need to step out of her dead friend’s shadow and become a hero in her own right.

Story
Emperor Hazard is Dead! When the Teddy Bears ambush the ship carrying Emperor Hazard to a peace conference in the Zenkarr system, Britannia once again finds itself at war. The Teddy Bears have a plan, but Gathii Kong, now in command of the Imperial Force, doesn’t take the bait. He follows Hazard’s last order to fight smart and foils the Zenkarr Intelligence Minister’s plan to destroy Britannia’s fleet by not charging deeper into the system. But now Kong has the lion by the tail—he can’t follow the enemy fleet into the gravity well, nor can he let them out to terrorize the nearby systems.

Just when it seems they can’t get any worse, the Empress is attacked.

Story
The West's own governments are giving up, have already lost, or are leading the charge to something else. This doesn't sit well with those who believe in liberty. This is the story of a people who have lost the political fight, they've lost the culture wars, they haven't seen a level playing field in a generation, and they are about to be made serfs. None of that matters. They're leaving....

Story
Everyone could see it coming. But one man could do something about it. Oh, he couldn't avert the nuclear holocaust, but a scientist in Austria, ruthlessly using billions of research dollars for his own purposes, set himself up and out: he created a time machine, and filled a warehouse with low-tech survival gear. Too bad he didn't get to use it himself. Instead, a team of American grad students, led by their professor, is sent back to the late Roman Empire. Even though they are experts in this time and place, they are about to realize that books and actual experience are very different things.

Story
Titus Briggs is an Earth Defense soldier, a grunt, a decorated war hero—it's all he's ever known. So when a career-ending injury leaves him lying in a hospital bed, missing both legs, he struggles to accept his new reality. He can no longer walk, which means he can no longer fight. That is until a mysterious colonel arrives and offers Titus the opportunity to step into a new kind of war, a new kind of fight. To become a new kind of soldier. Mobile Combat Suits—MOCOMS—represent the next stage in human warfare. They enable soldiers to fight like never before.
