- - - Much later, when I’m done with the talk and forced smiles, I cruise the strip clubs, consuming vast quantities of vermouth and vodka. I just don’t want to go home. I can’t go home. I join the night-people, and take my place on the vinyl seating and drink out of chipped K-Mart glassware. The lighting is always the same: blood red. The music is repetitive and loud, but strangely reassuring. The girls are all young and energetic, and remarkably flexible. I settle in. The drinks kill the need, the reckless desire. I am all done with being me, I realize, some time later, many drinks later. And finally, when the girls are nothing more than blurred film, the drinks nothing more than broken dreams, I realize that I must actually leave. I turn from the jagging laughter of the washed-out blonde at the bar, who has had her fleshy hand camped on my damp thigh, and head for the exit. It is time to get some air. - - - |

When the Lokaron discovered Earth, they picked America to use as their puppet in dominating the planet. They weren't evil; they just insisted, backed up by irresistible weapons, that we trade with them. They played fair -- by their rules -- but if they didn't own something, it would mean they didn't want it. At first we tried to fight, but when the ones with the guns say "Let's trade!" it means "Trade or bleed, " even if you eventually aren't going to have a country -- or a planet -- left. But worms turn, and like the Europeans a century ago, the Lokaron were going to learn a hard lesson from their victims.... |

From the introduction:
Collateral Damage:
A Father’s Day Collection of Mayhem
To follow the immense fun -- um, I mean HUGE FINANCIAL SUCCESS -- of our TERMINAL DAMAGE collection, we came up with this book.
TERMINAL DAMAGE was tied together in that all the stories took place at an airport on the same day – when all hell broke loose.
The eight stories in COLLATERAL DAMAGE are tied together by Father’s Day. Revenge, mysteries, killings and more bleed through the pages of this book.
We hope you enjoy this one as much as folks seemed to enjoy TERMINAL DAMAGE. |

A near-future Earth has shaken off the devastating colonization by alien Lokaran invaders and totalitarian rule by the alien’s puppets, the Earth First party. But now Earth is flung into galactic intrigue and war. The Lokaron empire teeters on the edge of a fratricidal meltdown and a cabal of ancient enemies hope to use Earth as a proxy to destroy the empire and rule over a new Galactic Dark Age. Now Captain Andrew Roark, the son of heroes of the rebellion and an officer trained in Lokaran space warfare tactics, joins with a highly capable Lokar who opposes the empire but wishes to see it transformed rather than destroyed. Together they must uncover a conspiracy to control Earth, and then obtain the secret key to defeating it. War for galactic control looms, and freedom for Earth—so recently escaped from under the boot-heel of one oppressor—is once again in the balance.

Steve White, Vietnam vet, long-time David Weber collaborator and co-author, with Weber, of the New York Times best-seller The Shiva Option, joins with Analog contributor and military SF scholar Charles E. Gannon to carve another notch in the Starfire adventure saga.An implacable foe with telepathic cohesion in battle, near-immortality, and eons-advanced engineering skills threatens to wipe humanity from the galaxy. What’s more, they’ve overcome their one weakness–no faster-than-light travel–and have followed humanity through our star gates and beyond. But humans are the master of adaption, and have got a counterpunch of devastating proportions in reserve. Now a hard-bitten and brilliant admiral must face down renewed alien attack and somehow communicate to the enemy that if he is forced to use his ultimate military option, galactic civilization itself may come to a fiery end.

A lot of action going on here, with a lot of physics behind it. There is a real sense of the urgency of war and the sacrifices it demands." |

Once before, the sentient races in the known part of the galaxy—humans, Orions, Ophiuchi and Gorm—had united to defeat alien invaders. The “bugs” were as incomprehensibly alien as they were revoltingly evil, using all other living things, intelligent or not, as food, and they had been defeated at a terrible cost. Decades have since passed and the gallant warriors of the battle against the bugs have grown old, while new generations have grown complacent . . . dangerously so.  Long ago, much of the population of an entire planet had built a huge fleet of ships, each ship larger than a city, and fled their world before its sun went nova. Those slower-than-light ships traversed many light years, and have now arrived at the world they intend to make their new home. They regard the fact that the planet is already colonized by humans as a mere inconvenience, the more so since their mode of communication is so different from anything humans use that they do not consider humans and their allies to be truly intelligent. And the arriving aliens know—or, at least, they believe—that when they die they will be reincarnated, so they do not hesitate to attack humans and their allies with suicidal fury.  This time, the intelligent races of the old alliance will not have to worry about becoming an invader’s meal—but that will be small comfort if the invaders decide that genocide is justified for their own survival. . . |

Jason Thanou of the Temporal Regulatory Authority had about had it with nursemaiding parties of ivory-tower academics through Earth’s blood-drenched history, keeping them alive as they sought evidence for their pet theories. Of course, when one of the ivory-tower academics looked like Doctor Deirdre Sadaka-Ramirez, one last expedition didn’t look like such a bad idea after all.. . . Besides, there was something to be said for witnessing the Santorini explosion of 1628 B.C.—the most cataclysmic natural disaster of human history, and the source of much of the mythology of Jason’s own Greek ancestors. But once Jason and his companions were in the Aegean Bronze Age, unable to return to their own twenty-fourth-century time until a predetermined instant, they would find that there was more to those old legends of gods and heroes than anyone had imagined. For the gods were very real—horribly so. And dealing with them took very real heroes. |

Set against a dark background of terrorism and greed, the story and characters of White Silhouette are a study in the basic elements of today's society. Though fictional, the plot centers around the vulnerability we face along our southern border with a "yeah, that could happen" storyline.
Taylor Marshall is a radio station manager in Northern Arizona. In a funk after losing his wife, he tests the edges of self-destruction and is handed a news story like none other he has ever faced.
The reader is taken on a journey from the manicured landscapes of central Florida to the rugged beauty of Northern Arizona along a twisting path leading to destruction. Just don't be surprised if the headline in tomorrow's newspaper has all the elements of White Silhouette. |

It wasn't much of an empire anymore - but it was all they had...Afterwards, Basil Castellan was always certain that it had all begun the day he'd been rescued by the dragon. Oh, it hadn't been a real dragon, of course, or so he hastily assured everyone to whom he told the story. Only ...it had been a real dragon. But he would never share that particular knowledge with anyone but Sonja and 'Tarval...The Empire had preserved peace and order throughout human-inhabited space, but it had grown weak with the passing of the centuries, and now the self styled New Humans were rising in open rebellion, striving to seize control and impose their fanatical grand design on all humans everywhere. Basil, Sonja and Torval had only recently graduated from the Imperial Deep Space Fleet Academy, and the three comrades had no inkling of the crucial role they would play as the rising storm of war engulfed the galaxy-nor of the importance of the Luon, the dragon-like beings from Basil's homeworld, who were older, wiser, and more powerful than humans could imagine. |
