A Companion to Misery, Volume I: On Judgment: The first part of the history of the war for Earth between the K'maneda and the Empire, starring everyone's favorite n'er do well, Julia Richardson
A Companion to Misery, Volume II: On Restoration: The second part of the history of the war
A Companion to Misery, Volume III: On Salvation: The third part of the history of the war
The Road to Nowhere: Set after the war, these are Julia-centric stories about her...uh, issues. The main "novel" idea it could be said to revolve around are the events that occur immediately proceeding, during, and immediately after she (unwisely) goes to Africa.
Like Blood From The Beloved: Also set after the war, this is a love story. Uh. Sorta? There is a plot in here somewhere, but it mostly gets neglected in lieu of pointless fluff.
American Gothic: About Gen and Mirk going to America to "take care of" another Destroyer. Also a shameless excuse to watch Gen try to act like a normal person.
Comrades In Arms: Stories about a new generation of K'maneda war heroes. Well, more like K'maneda war losers.
The Christmas Story: A simple Christmas tale. Lots of fluffy morals, good feelings, angry Russians, and murderous angels.
