Earth has been saved from the Twins of Triton (two asteroids on a collision course) by the saurians and the Starfinder Tiperia. Just before leaving the planet, Brian Miller has a small request: save Joan of Arc from the fires of execution in France 1431! The lord of the lizardanians’ second, Soreidian, supports Brian in his bizarre entreaty (he has something more diabolical in mind). Brian and Soreidian have a surprising fight. The captain capturing Joan of Arc challenges the shape-shifted Littorian, who also needs a rescue from an unexpected source. The quest gets more difficult as Death Incarnate engages in a chess game with Brian, and dragons in Romania need a rescue too! Anakimian, a young alligatorian, featured in Brian Miller and the young star dragons, wishes to make Joan his companion but is hampered by the Time Keeper and must make a very dire decision. Can Joan survive?

Book Description
Now with all new content by John Ringo! Paradise Lost In the future there is no want, no war, no disease nor ill-timed death. The world is a paradise¾and then, in a moment, it ends. The council that controls the Net falls out and goes to war. Everywhere people who have never known a moment of want or pain are left wondering how to survive. But scattered across the face of the earth are communities which have returned to the natural life of soil and small farm. In the village of Raven's Mill, Edmund Talbot, master smith and unassuming historian, finds that all the problems of the world are falling in his lap. Refugees are flooding in, bandits are roaming the woods, and his former lover and his only daughter struggle through the Fallen landscape. Enemies, new and old, gather like jackals around a wounded lion. But what the jackals do not know is that while old he may be, this lion is far from death. And hidden in the past is a mystery that has waited until this time to be revealed. You cross Edmund Talbot at your peril, for a smith is not all he once was. . . . At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). Praise for the Science Fiction of John Ringo "MARVELOUS!" ¾David Weber "Explosive. . . .
