Troy Rising

New York Times Best-Selling Series Continues!


First the Glatun came, and we learned we were not alone in the galaxy. Then the Horvath arrived, and we learned the galaxy was a dangerous place. But our alien enemies underestimated how dangerous we could be.


It’s been over fifteen years since New York Times best-selling author John Ringo’s Live Free or Die dropped us into a war we didn’t want and couldn’t win, or so it seemed. From that first volume through Citadel and The Hot Gate, he let us experience the triumph of the human spirit through our entrepreneurial creativity, native-born toughness, and sheer patriotic stubbornness. We marveled at gargantuan technological accomplishments so well imagined they seemed not only possible but inevitable, and equally larger-than-life characters that seemed just as remarkable and even more real.


Now, for the first time, John has permitted a select cadre of authors to write new stories in his Troy Rising universe. In this volume, you’ll find stories of espionage and subterfuge, daring and cleverness, courage and sacrifice, told with heart and humor and, above all, humanity, including an all new novella by John Ringo and stories by Adam Oyebanji, Mike Massa, Marisa Wolf, Michael Mersault, Casey Moores, Michael Gants, Karl K. Gallagher, Chris Kennedy, and Jason Cordova & Melissa Olthoff.


At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).


Praise for the Troy Rising series:

“. . . infused with plenty of old-fashioned two-fisted can-do attitude, a heavy dose of science, and occasional bursts of dry humor . . .” —Publishers Weekly on Live Free or Die


“Ringo is back with a rousing tale of derring-do in space . . . [He] is as good as ever, giving the reader an epic space opera complete with grand vistas and large-scale numbers and keeping it humming with . . . pungent writing, snappy characters, and gallows humor.”—Booklist on Citadel
