    Summary

    “If he is your father, he can fault you however it suits him,” replies Hannibal, the scarcest glimmer of amusement allowed to gather in the corners of his eyes. “And with a mouth like that you’ll be lucky if it’s not first with a fist.”

    "Would you?" The boy asks, feigning casual, words obviously directed at Hannibal, "Fault me? And with a fist, too?"

    Will is 16 when he finds himself given to an older man to be mentored and apprenticed in the art of war and horsemanship. It is traditional, and all would be well, had Will not run his mouth to this particular general in the public baths not several hours earlier...

    Summary

    Inej Ghafa is a principal dancer of the Kerch National Ballet, haunted by a past she'd rather forget. Kaz Brekker is a mob boss who holds the city in the palm of his hand.

    Perhaps if all were right with the world, two such people would never meet. Or perhaps fate will always give those who need each other a push in the right direction.

    It begins, as so many things in Ketterdam do, with a murder.

    Summary

    It was a story they’d told each other often, over too much kvas. A running joke between them, what they would do if they ever decided to leave it all behind.

    She’d never dreamed they actually would.

    Inej, and Kaz, and what comes after.

    Summary

    Maverick doesn’t regret it when he takes the hit, when the last thing he hears before he ejects is Rooster screaming his name.

    But then he wakes. Not to a vast, white snowfield behind enemy lines—but to an inverted cockpit of an F-14.

    And to Goose, alive and well in the seat behind him.

    Or; the time-travel fix-it in which TG:M Maverick wakes up at the start of TG (1986).
