Mark Van Name

LATEST RELEASE

No Going Back


BulletMark's new non-fiction book is now available in both hard copy and ebook. You can get it from Amazon or from the lyg.org site.

Companies must make profits to survive, but what if profit wasn’t the main goal? What if maximizing shareholder value wasn’t a goal at all? What if business leaders limited their compensation so that all employees could have more? In Limit Your Greed, Mark Van Name and Bill Catchings confront today’s accepted business norms and present alternatives that work. Using their own company, Principled Technologies, as a case study, they make a compelling argument for a new approach to business: one in which everyone limits their greed.

BulletCheck out the new Baen anthology, Star Destroyers, for my latest story, “Another Solution.” If you think you know exactly what Baen does and does not publish, you definitely need to read this tale, because it both follows and then shatters those stereotypes.

BulletI'm pleased and excited that Onward, Drake!, the festschrift I organized and edited for David Drake, is now available in both standard and signed, limited hardback editions. This book was a labor of love and respect for all of us with pieces in it, and I'm proud of the results.

BulletCheck out Mark's unusual (and very personal) afterword to the new Baen combined edition of Robert A. Heinlein's The Man Who Sold the Moon and Orphans of the Sky. Now available as a mass market paperback.


Man Who Sold the Moon

BulletAudible.com has made the entire Jon & Lobo series available as audio books. All of the recordings feature the same fine narrator, Tom Stechschulte, and they're all unabridged—the perfect treats for long trips and lengthy commutes!

BulletMark decided to extend the charity giveaway program for Children No More to all the editions of the book. To learn more about how this program helps war-affected children, you can read this blog entry or visit the Children No More site.

 

PRAISE FOR THE JON & LOBO SERIES

One Jump Ahead
“Just when I was thinking science fiction might be over, Mark Van Name proves that there are still smart, exciting, emotional sci-fi stories to be told . . . In Jon Moore, Van Name has created a hero who is worth at least a dozen more novels. I want this to be a series. I want to read a new one every year. More often would be nice.”
—Orson Scott Card

“. . . a page-turner. . . because Moore’s struggle to be an honorable and human person in a brutal universe is genuinely compelling.”
—Charlie Jane Anders, io9.com

Slanted Jack
“Van Name’s flair for witty dialogue, breakneck pacing and nonstop action . . . . make this high-powered sequel . . . an undeniable page-turner.”
—Publishers Weekly

“Highly, highly recommended; fun, great heroes, great action, but heartbreak and tragedy too . . .”        —Fantasy Book Critic

Children No More
“. . . powered by breakneck pacing and military-nuanced action and adventure . . . [a] cerebral—and enriching—
read.”
—Publishers Weekly
