Black Triumph (Dark Victory: 03):  DuBois, Brendan

More than ten years ago, the alien Creepers arrived in Earth’s orbit and started a war that was a disaster for humanity. Nuclear weapons detonated in the atmosphere destroyed all electronic devices, asteroids dropped into oceans and lakes swamped cities with artificial tsunamis, and the nearly invulnerable Creepers arrived on Earth, going forth from their dome bases to attack civilians and military units at will. Sixteen-year-old Randy Knox, a newly minted lieutenant in the U.S. Army, has been fighting the Creepers since he was twelve. He has seen friends, family members and fellow soldiers killed by the Creepers, and he is tired of war. At one point, it seemed the war was over when the aliens’ orbital battle station had been destroyed. But a second Creeper orbital battle station has arrived.

Ho ho oh hell, is it that time of year again? Already? When the muzak starts cranking out lousy Casio versions of “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” non-stop? When the flavor du jour switches from pumpkin spice to eggnog every damned thing? When the world gets all twinkley and glittery and your eyes just want to roll out of your skull from the sparkle overload? When the clatter and jangle of the Salvation Army bell-swingers standing outside every shop entry and exit makes you want to put your ears out with an icepick?
Worse: how about when every other person you come across wants to infect you with the holiday cheer, whether you want it or not? When the constant refrain is: “Remember the Reason for the Season” as if the reason isn’t the cash register? When we have to hear the never-ending idiot bleating from certain quarters about the war on Christmas?
Seriously, is it that time of year again already?

Freehold: Resistance:  Williamson, Michael Z

NEW STORIES IN THE BEST-SELLING FREEHOLD SERIES, CREATED BY MICHAEL Z. WILLIAMSON. Featuring all-new stories by Larry Correia, Michael Z. Williamson, Brad R. Torgersen, Mike Massa, Kacey Ezell, and more!
When the UN invaded the Freehold of Grainne, the intent was simple: Force a noncompliant star nation back into the collective. What the politicians hadn't accounted for was that the Freehold had spent 200 years as the haven for every independent, rebellious, self-reliant adventurer in human space. Its military are scattered remnants, its bases smoking ruins, its cities occupied. But Grainne and its space habitats have resources beyond measure. Retired intelligence agents, disabled veterans, animal handlers, petty smugglers, half-lame computer specialists, research scientists, professional duellists, all have one goal in mind: Make the invaders suffer for their presumption.

Spoilers: Things Get Worse:  Surlak-Ramsey, Galen

Time travel is messy.
And I don’t mean morning hair after prom, messy.
I mean flushing dynamite down the toilet, messy.
Long story short:
Ship, trashed.
Food stores, gone.
Ravenous monsters, everywhere.
Worst of all, I have to listen to my best bud and his new harem of space cats constantly “repopulate” their species. I swear to god, if I don’t find some ear plugs soon, I’m going stick my head in a warp coil. The silver lining to our predicament is that the abandoned facility we found has some sweet tech we might be able to use to escape - assuming we can bring it back online before we’re eaten. That said, should this be the end of my epic adventure, always remember: if I die, I want a Viking funeral.
