In nur wenigen Jahren hat David Weber sich an die Spitze der internationalen SF geschrieben. Im Mittelpunkt seines Werks steht Honor Harrington, die zäheste und intelligenteste Sternenschiffkommandantin der ganzen Galaxis.

There’s the new treecat adoptee who needs to be kept from becoming a risk to the carefully guarded secret of just how smart the arboreal inhabitants of Sphinx really are. There’s the overeager journalist whose campaign to protect the treecats from exploitation as the newest, coolest pet on any planet could threaten the very creatures he seeks to defend. And there’s the mysterious rash of weird accidents that are plaguing Sphinx’s younger inhabitants—including some of those nearest and dearest to Stephanie.

Yesterday, the Star Kingdom of Manticore was a small, unimportant interstellar backwater. A quiet little star nation, only recently recovered from the devastating blow of the Plague Years. More affluent than some, perhaps, but with little to attract trade or interstellar commerce, it had little need for a navy...and even less interest in paying for one. But Manticore has now become a target. The Star Kingdom isn't certain who is attacking it, or why, or what its mysterious foe can possibly want, but Queen Elizabeth I knows she has to find out.

The Solarian League lies in defeat, crushed by the Grand Alliance of Manticore, Haven, and Grayson. Obedient to the Alliance's surrender demands, the League is writing a new Constitution, to prevent the reemergence of out-of-control bureaucrats, like the "Mandarins" who led it to disaster. Frontier Security has been disbanded, the outer worlds have regained control of their own economic destinies, and multiple star systems will soon secede from the League entirely.

Nach acht blutigen Kriegsjahren ist Honor in havenitische Kriegsgefangenschaft geraten und vor laufenden Kameras hingerichtet worden. Ihre Freunde sinnen auf Rache. Ein neuer Krieg steht bevor. Doch niemand ahnt, was sich auf dem Gefängnisplaneten Hell abspielt.

Innerhalb einiger weniger kurzer Jahre hat sich David Weber mit seiner Serie um Honor Harrington, der zähesten und tüchtigsten Kommandantin eines Sternenschiffs in der Galaxis, an die Spitze der amerikanischen Science Fiction geschrieben.

Zum ersten Mal teilt David Weber sein Universum mit zwei bekannten Co-Autoren: David Drake und S. M. Stirling.

Nicht mehr lange, dann wird der Bergbau im Ruhrgebiet Geschichte sein. In "ZECHENKINDER" erzählen 25 Kumpel von der schwarzen Seele des "Potts".

Über eine Arbeiterwelt, in der das Wort "Arschloch" keine Beleidigung sein muss und ein gemeinsames Bier verdient sein will. Ungeschliffen, kraftvoll, ungekünstelt - eben Menschen aus dem Ruhrgebiet.

Agent Raibert Kaminski and the crew of the Transtemporal Vehicle Kleio have stumbled across a temporal implosion that has claimed two whole universes, and neither Raibert nor his crew can ­ figure out what caused this calamity, or how to stop its spread. Meanwhile, old colleagues of Raibert’s from the Antiquities Rescue Trust, together with a version of Samuel Pepys transplanted from the 17th century into the 30th, have proposed an expedition into the past. The goal? To branch the timeline by preventing the Plague of Justinian, one of the worst pandemics in human history.

What if World War III had actually happened? Wonder no more, for these questions, along with many others, are answered in this audiobook.

Doctor Benjamin Schröder was far from a man of action. In fact, he was a history teacher - chairman of the Castle Rock University history department - and if his life wasn't perfect, it was close. Until, that is the discussion of his star student Elzbietá Abramowski's dissertation on Operation Oz, the Pacific Allies' invasion of Vladivostok, was brutally interrupted. The psychotic episode that turned his entire world upside down struck with absolutely no warning, and it was more terrifying than anything he should have been able to imagine.

Those on the side of progressing humanity through advanced technology have finally triumphed over their oppressors. The unholy war between the small but mighty island realm of Charis and the radical, luddite Church of God's Awaiting has come to an end.

The Solarian League's navy counts its superdreadnoughts by the thousands. Not even its own government knows how enormous its economy truly is. And for hundreds of years, the League has borne the banner of human civilization, been the ideal to which humanity aspires in its diaspora across the galaxy. But the bureaucrats known as the "Mandarins," who rule today's League, are not the men and women who founded it so long ago. They are corrupt, venal, accountable to no one...and they've decided the upstart Star Kingdom of Manticore must be destroyed.

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....

Words from My Father is the collected works of writing over the last seven years. Many of the notes are profound family experiences, told in the light of living our faith. Some are social commentary also told in the light of living our faith. Each was originally sent as an email to family and friends. All were written and sent wrapped in the hope and prayer that what our Lord has asked is what is revealed in every note.
