01 - Le serment de l'épée - 2011

  Bahzell Bahnakson est un hradani, race maudite depuis les guerres des Sorciers qui ont dévasté le monde. Les hradanis souffrent de la Rage, qui décuple leurs forces quand elle s'empare d'eux et leur vaut la crainte et le mépris de tous. Otage chez l'ennemi juré de son père, Bahzell se voit contraint de prendre la fuite, pourchassé par la vengeance d'un prince qui conspire avec les forces du mal. Assassins et démons le guettent. Son seul recours serait-il Tomañak, le dieu de la Guerre, qui entend faire de lui son champion ? Car l'affrontement des dieux n'a pas vraiment cessé depuis la chute de Kontovar un millénaire plus tôt...

04 - We few - 2004

avec John Ringo
Prince Roger MacClintock was an heir to the galaxy's Throne of Man-and a self-obsessed spoiled young brat . . . until he and the Royal Marines sent to protect him were stranded on Marduk with only their feet to get them half way around the entire planet. So far, they've traversed a continent, crossed a sea full of ship-eating monsters, taken over an enemy spaceport, and hijacked a starship. But they're not home-free yet, because home is no longer free. In Roger's absence, a palace coup by enemies of the MacClintock family has seized control of the Empire. His mother the Empress is a captive in the palace and even in her own body, drugged so that her will is not her own. Roger's bother, the heir to the throne, is dead. And Roger himself has been branded an outlaw and traitor. Roger and his faithful band of human marines and native alien warriors have beaten the barbarian planet Marduk. Now they must re-conquer an interstellar empire.

02 - L'héritage de l'armageddon - 2005

La mutinerie qui ravageait la Terre depuis cinquante millénaires a pris fin. Colin MacIntyre a repris possession de Dahak, le gigantesque vaisseau spatial, héritage d'un empire interstellaire lointain.
Mais les Achuultani sont là. Leur innombrable armada aborde les parages du système solaire, balayant toute vie consciente sur son passage. Comment s'opposer à cette irrésistible force de frappe ? Faut-il espérer le secours du Quatrième Empirium, s'il n'a pas disparu, ou ne doit-on compter que sur les forces dérisoires d'une Terre qui n'a même pas encore fait son unité ? Et quel mystère dissimule d'ailleurs cette furie destructrice des Achuultani ?

08 - Ashes of victory - 2000

The People’s Republic of Haven made a tiny mistake when it announced the execution of Honor Harrington. It seemed safe enough. After all, they knew she was already dead.
Unfortunately, they were wrong.
Now Honor has escaped from the prison planet called Hell and returned to the Manticoran Alliance with a few friends. Almost half a million of them, to be precise . . . including some who know what really happened when the Committee of Public Safety seized power in the PRH.
Honor’s return from the dead comes at a critical time, providing a huge, much-needed lift for the Allies’ morale, for the war is rapidly entering a decisive phase. Both sides believe that victory lies within their grasp at last, but dangers no one could foresee await them both.

03 - Changer of worlds - 2001

Avec Eric Flint

In "Changer of Worlds," a secret that the alien treecats have kept from their human friends for hundreds of years is about to come out . . . and completely change the relationship between the two species forever.
Meanwhile, Eric Flint weighs in with "From the Highlands." Honor can't be everywhere, so when the People's Republic of Haven tries to stage a political assassination on Earth, Anton Zilwicki—husband of one of the Star Kingdom's most revered military martyrs, and father of a young woman who is clearly a chip off the old block—steps into the breach . . . and takes the opportunity to settle some old scores along the way.
And finally, Esther McQueen and Oscar Saint-Just square off for their final confrontation in Noveau Paris in "Nightfall."
