Three best-selling Jerry Pournelle masterpieces in one volume for the
first time: Janissaries and Tran. A modern soldier is transported by
aliens to a world filled with warriors through the ages including
medieval knights, Roman soldiers. His task: survival.
*Janissaries
*Some days it just didn't pay to be a soldier. Captain Rick Galloway and
his men had been talked into volunteering for a dangeorus mission--only
to be ruthlessly abandoned when faceless CIA higher-ups pulled the plug
on the operation. They were cut off in hostile teritory, with local
troops and their Cuban advisors rapidly closing in. And then the alien
spaceship landed...
Clan and Crown and Storms of Victory
He didn't want to conquer the world. He had to. Captain Rick Galloway,
formerly of the US Army, more recently a mercenary commander, was now
Lord Rick on the planet Tran. Rescued by an alien spaceship from certain
death when a mercenary assignment went sour, he and his men were dropped
on a world distant from Earth, but inhabited by humans transplanted in
the past from medieval Europe, from Imperial Rome, and from other
now-vanished nations.
Now the time of the Demon Star approaches, whose close approach and
fierce heat will render much of Tran uninhabitable. To survive this
fiery apocalypse, the warring nations of Tran must be united. Lord Rick
doesn't want to conquer the world, but the alternative is certain
extinction!
