Donald E. McQuinn

The story of Gan Moondark of the Dog People and the nation he forged in the post-apocalyptic Northwest.
For centuries the proud Dog People had roamed with their horses across the grassy plains and fir-clad hills of the Northwest. Then, when their strength was as its greatest, the Dogs turned their bows on one another in a struggle over who would become War Chief after Col Moondark.....
Witch

Donald E. McQuinn

Rose Priestess Sylah's successful quest for ancient knowledge had shattered the unity of the Church and branded her a witch. Her only protection, and the only hope for a better future, lay with Gan Moondark, ruler of the united Three Territories. But Gan's fledgling empire was beset by enemies on all sides: Church wanted to reassert her traditional control and suppress the knowledge revealed by Sylah's quest. The heretic religion called Moondance was sweeping across the land, unstoppable, and its goal was the utter destruction of Gan and Sylah. And the deadly coastal raiders called the Skan were banding together with both Church and Moondance against Gan and Sylah in the hope of a rich plunder of slaves taken from Gan's lands.
As the winter set in, Gan had but months to plan for the defense of his people. And so once again he turned to the strangers--resurrectees from the twentieth century--who had helped him found his empire, for it was only with the technology of a long-dead civilization that Gan could hope to overcome the forces arrayed against him. But the skills and knowledge that the strangers possessed were feared even by Gan's supporters--and if his people began to believe that the strangers practiced dark magic, Gan's campaign for freedom would be doomed from the start...

HONOR AND REDEMPTION
Captain Lannat was fiercely loyal to his emperor and the elite corps of Rifles. But that loyalty was put to the test when he was assigned to mentor Prince Casey of Paro. For that backwater planet was crucial to the success of a coup being planned by the priest-scientists of Lumin, the empire's own religious-military arm.
Foiling the plot fell to Captain Lannat and a small company of Rifles, who faced the combined might of Lumin's Elemental Guard and its allies. Worse, the situation was turning Prince Casey against Lannat. For the emperor, Paro could mark the end of his long reign. For the Rifles, it could be their last battle. And for Lannat, it was more than a test of a soldier's skill and courage--it was his last chance to salvage any honor for himself and his troops in the face of ruthless greed and treachery . . .
