Space Strategy

What if Germany had won the Second World War—and turned its sights to the stars? What if democracy had fallen not by force alone, but by silence, retreat, and defeat? In this sweeping work of alternate history and historical fiction, the Allies collapse under the Axis blitzkrieg. Britain is conquered. The Soviet Union capitulates. The United States, paralyzed by isolationism, never joins the war. By 1945, democracy is extinguished—and the Reich rules the Earth. But conquest does not end at the edge of the atmosphere. From secret launch sites and repurposed battlefields, Germany begins a...

Since the Cold War, outer space has become of strategic importance for nations looking to seize the ultimate high ground. World powers establishing a presence there must consider, among other things, how they will conduct warfare in orbit. Leaders must dispense with "Buck Rogers" notions about operations in space and realize that policies there will have serious ramifications for geopolitics. How should nations view space? How should they fight there? What would space warfare look like and how should strategists approach it?

In an audiobook that challenges everything you thought you knew, W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne assert that tomorrow's leading companies will succeed, not by battling their rivals for market share in the bloody "red ocean" of a shrinking profit pool, but by creating "blue oceans" of untapped new market spaces ripe for growth.

Darken Voss was the spare heir: insurance for the dynasty, but a wastrel to his father. The King wasn’t entirely wrong. On a planet with no wars and no real army, Voss’s hereditary position as Commander of Planetary Defenses was ceremonial. His diploma from the Hyperion War College was not. Then the pirates came. They had bigger guns. But he had that diploma. Outmatched, untested, and responsible for a planet that has forgotten how to fight, Voss is forced to earn that ceremonial title. Flaws of Decency begins the Voss’s Vipers saga: loyalty, wit, found family, and the kind of choices...
