The Jim Baen Memorial Award: The First Decade
A DECADE OF SCIENCE FICTION EXCELLENCE Since 2007, Baen Books and The National Space Society have sponsored The Jim Baen Memorial Short Story Award, to honor the legacy of Jim Baen and to promote the ideals of forward-thinking, positive science fiction. Here gathered together for the first time are the best of the best of the first decade of the Jim Baen Memorial Award. Winners and runners-up whose stories dared imagine a bright future in which humankind has shaken off the shackles of gravity and moved into that limitless realm known as “outer space.” Each tale is set in a plausible, near-future setting, and yet the variations are as limitless as the imaginations of the array of authors represented. Stories that ask, “What if?” Stories that dare to say, “Why not?” Stories that continue the grand science fiction tradition, looking to the future with a positive outlook on humanity's place in the universe. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Grantville Gazette
A story collection continues the saga that began in 1632 and 1633, describing life for the inhabitants of Grantville, an American town from West Virginia that finds itself hurtled back in time and into the middle of the Thirty Years War, as they struggle to bring their advanced technology to the seventeenth century. Includes a section of articles exploring different scientific questions and conundrums raised by the Eric Flint series.
Mother of Demons
A mercenary outcast with a perversion no one cared to think about. A holy leader, who knows her people are on the verge of great upheaval—and who wants to know more about this new tribe of demons. A battle-mother, possibly the greatest battle-mother who ever lived—if the rules of her tribe don't force her into a battle even she can't win. A keeper of the secrets of history who would control the tides of fate—if only she could. A paleobiologist with a terrible sense of humor. They are all revolutionaries, but none of them expected anything like what they're about to experience. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
