This Lot?
>>Phoenix at Bay (Abstract)
As the Lerun Federation crumbles under the onslaught of Guild-backed Imperial Raymore, the fledgling United Worlds Alliance continues to expand. But once Raymore's attention is no longer diverted by the Federation, the UWA will surely fall.
Phoenix At Bay deals with the darkest days of the UWA, from a rescue mission on Darryl and the diplomatic efforts at Lerun, to the final, last-ditch defence of Phoenix against the massed forces of Raymore and the Guild.
------
Phoenix Rising
Several years after the Battle of Phoenix, the UWA has become a powerful "Pocket Empire" in Diaspora Sector. Contact with the Reformation Coalition brings new possibilities but also new challenges as the Coalition attempts to assimilate the UWA.
Attempts to find an acceptable solution are deadlocked and sliding towards open conflict when the balance of power is tipped by the arrival of new forces.
Long-range messengers from the Regency and elsewhere arrive at Phoenix, seeking allies and trading partners.
Phoenix receives emissaries from the emerging powers; the Reformation Coalition, the Regency and the Second Rule of Man. Rumours speak of a Reconstituted Ziru Sirka away to Coreward too.
Phoenix is caught in the middle of powerplays on all sides; The question seems to be simply: whose puppet will the UWA become?
But there is another power at work in Diaspora Sector, a subtle one which may yet hold the key to the fate of the sector, the UWA, or even all humaniti
------
Phoenix in Black
Word comes to Phoenix; the Reconstituted Ziru Sirka has forced a treaty on the troubled Regency and hurled its fleets in a new direction.
As the Ziru Sirka plunges into the Black Curtain, tearing a path to the Imperial Core in a final repetition of the insanity of the Rebellion, other powers are drawn into the Curtain War.
For on the heels of the shattered Ziru Sirka fleets come the forces of the Black Imperium. The Curtain is open and Lucan's legacy is unleashed upon the defenceless worlds.
UWA personnel once again attempt to forge an alliance. This Grand Alliance seems a forlorn hope, but it is the only chance to prevent the rise of an all-powerful Black Imperium.
------
Imperial Phoenix
The Grand Alliance is poised and ready, but it is a fragile thing, puny against the might of the Black Imperium.
All humaniti has answered the call as best they can; the Zhodani Concord, the Reformation Coalition, the True Solomani and the Second Rule of Man; Ships have even come from the collapsed Regency and the smoking ruins of Vland.
It is not enough.
The only hope of victory lies in a death-or-glory assault on the heartworlds of the Black Imperium, to shatter its fleets and break its power forever. But the Grand Alliance is a shaky thing, with no cohesive structure. If any faction flinches from the appalling losses they will surely take, then all the alliance fleets are lost, and with them any hope of victory.
Yet each faction has its agenda; its reason for driving on to Capital and tearing out the heart of the Black Imperium.
Within the Black Curtain are found answers to many of the questions of the New Era; aid unlooked-for; and a threat as great as the Black Imperium itself.
Victory seems impossible, but defeat is death. And in the fire and darkness of the Black Imperium, perhaps a phoenix may yet arise from the shattered Sunburst.<<

Also, are they a good read?
yes DP is a damn good read, and I for one am eager for the next installment (Yes Martin I know you are writing the TNE sourcebook and I want that more
)
PS. Just a quick question Martin. Which planet is Imperial Raymore. Its not on the Astrogator's guide to Diaspora, so its obviously a new era name change job.
