Fifteen outstanding authors. Fourteen extraordinary stories. One best-selling universe. It’s the 22nd century. The galaxy has opened up to humanity as a hyperactive beehive of stargates and new technologies, and we suddenly find ourselves in a vast playground of different races, environments, and cultures. Enter the Four Horsemen universe, where only a willingness to fight and die for money separates humans from the majority of the other races. Enter a galaxy not only of mercenaries, but also of aliens, hired assassins, and accountants. Accountants?

Salvage System is a beacon of hope, and a number of other races continue looking toward it as an inspiration for how to live and govern themselves, and - in some cases - for assistance in defending themselves and throwing off oppressive regimes. But the galaxy is a big place, and many of the races in it aren’t friendly. Would these forces like to take over Salvage System and acquire its resources? Absolutely.

What do most business owners have in common? A lack of freedom. Instead of working to own your business, it's time to work to own your freedom. When you own your freedom, you're tied to the business no more, able to choose why and how to spend your time and money. In Own Your Freedom, co-authors Dr. David Phelps and Dan S. Kennedy describe the freedom you can enjoy when you earn passive income through capital investments like real estate. By investing in your capital, the people in your life, and your skills, you can achieve freedom well before a fabled retirement date.

There is something quite special about this fine collection of tales of terror from the Sceptered Isle, each and every one crafted in the dead of the night by twisted, fevered minds, who have brought the darkest denizens of the blackest shadows crawling and slithering to life to terrify those brave souls amongst you who dare to listen.

Harmon Tomeral and his friends wanted nothing more than to go to space, and they have beaten the odds, time and again, to get there. They developed a mech and won the Top Fleet Marine competition. They brought back a battle cruiser from an unknown system and made it their own. They made allies who helped them achieve great victories, and they, ultimately, founded new colonies in what has become known as the Salvage System.

Throughout the human experience, historians have wondered “what if?”. What if Sherman had fought for the South in the US Civil War? What if Germany had fought to the end in World War I? What if World War III had actually happened? Wonder no more, for these questions, along with many others, are answered in this audiobook.

The Shongairi conquered Earth. In mere minutes, half the human race died, and our cities lay in shattered ruins. But the Shongairi didn't expect the survivors' tenacity. And, crucially, they didn't know that Earth harbored two species of intelligent, tool-using bipeds. One of them, long-lived and lethal, was hiding in the mountains of eastern Europe, the subject of fantasy and legend. When they emerged and made alliance with humankind, the invading aliens didn't stand a chance. Now, a select few blood-drinking immortals are on their way to the Shongairi homeworld.

A beloved sculpture is stolen by an acid-spitting rock creature in Barcelona. A smart, brave 13-year-old girl deals with her father’s ditzy girlfriends in Seattle. A doleful sandstone gome battles wolf hounds and guard geese at Cragganbogle Castle on the Western Isles of Scotland. When Finnley and Hadley’s seventh-grade class is invited to spend a vacation in Spain, these unlikely events are drawn together into an adventure filled with more danger, weird food, snooty popular girls, underground cave cities, and evil bog witches than they could have hoped for.

Finnley McDougall’s best friend, Hadley, is dying of gomebane poison. The secret cure was lost 500 years ago when the Inca Empire collapsed. And unless he can control his emotions, Finn will stiffen up and turn to stone. Dealing with school bullies and obnoxious popular girls was a lot easier than this.

Between 1929 and 1945, two great travails were visited upon the American people: the Great Depression and World War II. This Pulitzer Prize–winning history tells the story of how Americans endured, and eventually prevailed, in the face of those unprecedented calamities. The Depression was both a disaster and an opportunity. As David Kennedy vividly demonstrates, the economic crisis of the 1930s was far more than a simple reaction to the alleged excesses of the 1920s.

Finnley McDougall’s boring schoolboy life in Seattle gets turned upside down when Great Uncle Hugh gives him a most unusual gift - a scruffy, rude, bad-tempered Scottish rock creature called Wullie who brings danger and disaster with him wherever he goes. From French snobs in fancy hotels, rusting barges on the Seattle waterfront, abandoned coalmines and flooded quarries in the Scottish hillsides filled with bullies, gangsters, slobbering dogs, and weird food Finn and his best friend Hadley Kobayashi are drawn into an evil plot that threatens to destroy everything he loves…including Edinburgh Castle.

Gang- and drug-related inner-city violence, with its attendant epidemic of incarceration, is the defining crime problem in our country. In some neighborhoods in America, one out of every 200 young black men is shot to death every year, and few initiatives of government and law enforcement have made much difference. But when David Kennedy, a self-taught and then-unknown criminologist, engineered the "Boston Miracle" in the mid-1990s, he pointed the way toward what few had imagined: a solution.

It is said that one good deed deserves another. The Great Bog Witch of Calanais learns this is also true for bad deeds.

The world has been a suspiciously quiet and peaceful place in the three years since the calamity in Shadow Canyon. There have been no more Stone Rot events. A new generation of international men and women are rising to prominence in the fields of business, industry, and politics. Finnley McDougall and Hadley Kobayashi are enjoying a normal senior year in high school. The future looks bright.

Mairin learns to defeat mean strong enemies with kindness. Some sandstone magic and a smoky amber quartz crystal helps too.

Even a great gome magician can learn who to trust and what secrets to share. This is especially important when Baidu fangs and spores of crumblefern are involved.

Nigel Shirazi, the Speaker of the Merc Guild, knows that war is coming and he’s not ready. He needs to build up the mercenary forces after years of war, and he’s proclaimed the Phoenix Initiative to give people who want to start new companies the opportunity to do so. CASPers are cheaper and financed at lower rates, and the government of Earth is offering bounties to take the mercs from alien races off the planet. Now is the time!
