Books by David Drake

Military authors have entered the mainstream science fiction genre and continue to leave their mark. David Drake pays homage to his own sub-genre by collecting ten stories of men-at-arms by writers including Harry Harrison, Joe Haldeman, Gene Wolfe, Keith Laumer, Richard C. Matheson and himself.

THE THRILLING RE-TELLING OF ARTHURIAN LEGEND FROM MASTER OF SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY DAVID DRAKE CONTINUES! A young Champion must rescue a friend and battle an enemy at the heart of a chaotic world.The universe has shattered into chaos and monsters. Jon, the Leader, is dedicating his life to reuniting the scattered hamlets into a Commonwealth where all humans can live protected against the darkness and the things that live in that darkness. But no man can reshape the universe by himself. Jon has Makers to build weapons and clerks to handle the business of government-but he also needs Champions to face the powers of chaos, which will not listen to any argument but force. Lord Pal of Beune is one of those Champions. He has fought monsters and evil on behalf of Mankind, and he will fight them again. But now Guntram, the man who transformed Pal from an ignorant rube into a bulwark of the Commonwealth, has disappeared. Pal must locate his friend and mentor-and then he must battle an entity that may be at the core of the splintered universe! Pal of Beune: A humane man in a universe full of inhumanity. Pal of Beune: A strong man in a universe where some recognize only strength. Pal of Beune: A hero who will keep going until something stops him--and who hasn't been stopped yet! Praise for The Storm: "I finished The Storm last night. I loved it. It was such a sweet read. Pal is one of [Drake's] best people, humane and strong and generous, and his voice carries the whole book."-Cecelia Holland "Counterbalancing the setting's strangeness, Pal himself is thoroughly levelheaded and decent, the kind of hero readers will enjoy rooting for. This is an enjoyable exploration of a pleasantly peculiar world."-Publishers Weekly "...a wonderful cast of characters in a fabulous world of courtiers, peasants, Beasts, and mysterious Envoys.

When the Republic of Cinnabar doesn't have enough battleships to deal with all the crises in its war with the Alliance, it sends the next best thing: Commander Daniel Leary and his friend, the spy Adele Mundy.

Daniel Leary is a lieutenant in the Cinnabar Navy. Adele Mundy, whose family was massacred by the Government. Kostroma, which is under threat of invasion. Daniel, Adele, and the crew they gather aren't much to stand in the way of an invasion fleet. They have nothing on their side but each other and heaven help whatever tries to stand in their way!

David Drake chronicles the lives of ordinary Parisians during WWII, drawing on diaries and reminiscences of people who endured these years. From his account emerge the broad rhythms and shifting moods of the city and the contingent lives of resisters, collaborators, occupiers, and victims who, unlike us, could not know how the story would end.

Violence racks Cinnabar. In desperate times, Lt. Daniel Leary must serve under a paranoid officer, and Officer Adele Mundy is drawn into a conspiracy worringly similar to the one that led to her parents' massacre.

Captain Daniel Leary and his cybrarian friend Adele Mundy think they've earn the quiet life. But there is a rebellion in a distant, but politically critical, star system and high officials are determined to get the lifelong friends involved.

en tid hvor "coaching" er på alles læber - og bruges i stadig flere sammenhænge - er dette en bog om coaching, som er andet og mere end "endnu en praksisbog". Bogen er en grundbog, der sætter coaching ind i et større perspektiv og en bredere sammenhæng.I bogen favnes coachingfeltet med fokus på tre centrale områder, og bogen består af 19 kapitler. De er overordnet inddelt med ni praksisorienterede artikler fordelt i delen "Coaching i praksis - retninger og metoder" og ni mere teoriorienterede artikler i delene "Perspektiver på coaching - refleksioner og forklaringsrammer" samt "Effekter af coaching - dokumentation og vidnesbyrd". Antologien afrundes af efterord, der perspektiverer coachingens muligheder og risici fremover. Bogens målgruppe er deltagere på private og universitære uddannelser i og om coaching, der har brug for bred lærebog. Virksomheder, som bruger coaching og arbejder på at implementere værktøjer, praksis og tænkning i arbejdsfunktionen. Foruden alle med interesse for (og undren over) coaching, der har brug for et overblik, en samfundsmæssig perspektivering og en større forståelse for, hvorfor coaching virker. Bogen er redigeret af Kim Gørtz, uddannet på Københavns Universitet (1997) i filosofi og psykologi. Har siden efteråret 2005 været tilknyttet Learning Lab Denmark og Nordea som erhvervs-Ph.d. Anette Prehn er erhvervssociolog og indehaver af where2next, der arbejder med lederudvikling. Uddannet coach fra ITS, London og ICF-certificeret coach (ACC).
