Negotiation
Summary
Thirteen incredible authors. Thirteen stories about the Depik - what they were and where their society goes from here! It’s the 22nd century. Humanity has taken its first steps into the galaxy, and we’ve found ourselves in a vast playground of alien races, environments, and cultures. As the newest players on the universal stage, though, our position is readily apparent - we’re at the bottom of the food chain. But we’ve found new allies. The Depik are feared across the galaxy as the ultimate assassins, but when an attack on their home world devastates their society, the survivors are scattered across the galaxy. As humanity helps bring their civilization back together, though, how do the remaining Depik adults put their society back together and teach the young kits and kitas about what was lost? Stories. Not only are stories told to educate, but they also to help the young Depik make sense of their place in a galaxy that is so much bigger than they are. Enter now the world of the assassin, as these peerless killers decide how to make their way forward, and 13 amazing authors imagine the paths these Hunters will take.

Unification
Summary
The Corps has been integrated by imperial decree - but that doesn’t mean everyone accepts the wyntonan Marines. Despite an impressive combat record as a grunt, Corporal Leif Hollow struggles to become an effective NCO and leader of Marines. When the trumpets of war sound, however, Marines forget about differences and come together to accomplish the mission. But when the odds are stacked against them and the empire’s very existence is at stake, will that be enough?

The Marines
Summary
China is growing in power and in need of raw materials. When an aggressive general, with encouragement from an unnamed puppet master in the Politburo, moves to seize the Spratly Islands from the Philippines and Taiwan, the Marines of the 15th MEU are the only unit in position to do anything about it. What makes things more difficult is that the Chinese have made great strides in cyber warfare that have negated America's technological superiority. What will be the result of years of letting China manufacture electronic components and even parts for the U.S. aircraft, satellites, and communications systems? "Every Marine is a rifleman" has never been more true when the ultimate weapon in the nation's arsenal is the basic infantryman. But can Captain Tony Niimoto, a hero of both the embassy takeover in New Delhi and the hostage rescue in Somalia, lead his company against an overwhelming force of the finest of the People's Liberation Army? Can Sergeant Harrington Steptoe, Sergeant "Jay" McNamara, and First Lieutenant Peter Van Slyke step up into the mantle of leadership when all the odds are against them? This is volume three of The Return of the Marines. Some of the characters have been introduced in the previous volumes, but The Marines is a standalone book in its own right.

Call to Arms: Capernica
Summary
Capernica is invaded! Far from the war zone, the Wolvics have launched a surprise attack while the confederation army and navy are engaged in other fronts, and it is up to those on the planet to hold off the invaders until the confederation forces can respond. This trilogy contains three such stories of people responding to the call. Book one: Conscientious Objector A young conscientious objector is conscripted into the provisional planetary militia. But how can he carry a rifle and still uphold his convictions? As a religious refugee, Harris Taymon knows he owes a deep sense of loyalty to Capernica, but can he bear arms against the enemy with intent to kill? And if he doesn’t, can he survive his own side where desertion and cowardice are punished by execution? Book two: POG Brand-new boot Second Lieutenant Cel Wysoki is home on leave while awaiting logistics officer school, when Capernica is invaded. She has no unit yet and not a clue as to how the army functions. More than that. She is a POG - a “person other than grunt”, a "desk-jockey-in-training”. What now? Link up with the local garrison 100 klicks away? Surrender and wait out the war? Hide out in the mountains and hope for the best? The army doesn’t care that she has no training. They have one code: Soldiers always prosecute the war to the best of their abilities. Does she even have the capability to attempt that? Book three: Veteran Old soldiers are supposed to sit in the bar, drink with their buddies, and tell war stories. But when invaders invade, veterans do what they’ve got to do. Master Sergeant Lester Arceneaux (Retired), a disabled vet, is long into his golden years, too old even to be conscripted into the planetary militia. But when the enemy rolls over the local forces, he must run to the sound of gunfire if his wife and neighbors can have even a small chance to survive. His heart and mind are willing, but are his old bones up to the task? Bonus content: This trilogy contains previously unpublished bonus content that wraps up the events of the three included novellas.
