I'm looking for Dahak series thanks..
It's on the Mission of Honor CD found at
http://baencd.thefifthimperium.com/
Click on the "CD Zip" link and that will allow you to download all the books listed in that CD Collection. For a list of novels on that CD, you can click on the following link:
http://baencd.thefifthimperium.com/22-MissionofHonorCD/MissionofHonorCD
You still need to click on the main fifth imperium link to download the zip file.
22-Mission of Honor
It's the last David Weber CD issued by Baen, and contains everything issued previously except for Path of the Fury; the revised version, In Fury Born, is included.
And, yes, which novel? He's written well over seventy to date, I believe.
Well, we've posted two sites that have copies of the same CD.
The title for the omnibus collection of the three Dahak novels is Empire from the Ashes.

Yeah ... my poor bookshelves. I just did a quick count - I only have 44 of his books.
I don't think there's a one of them that I haven't read at least 3 times. Okay, 'A Call To Vengeance' I've only read once, but that's because I just got it.
I don't have the Safehold series, nor the Saganami Island Simulator RPG books, but other than that I've got pretty much everything he's written.
I try to download it but I cannot find the dahak series sir.
Did you download the Mission of Honor CD as a ZIP?
In this ZIP you'll find a directory "Empire from the Ashes" containing the complete Dahak series as one book.
HM.
Maybe you're looking at the wrong place.
The "Mission of Honor" CD isn't at suramya, it's at thefifthimperium.
IIRC suramya stopped after the 18th CD, "Mission of Honor" is CD22.
HM.
It is, however, at szymon, which is the one I linked to.
Which has the complete collection of Baen CDs included with the hardcovers, which thefifthimperium does not.
Szymon has 24-Cryoburn and Invasion, which are not at thefifthimperium while thefifthimperium has the Gutenberg SF CD and The Spider CD, which are not at szymon.
Szymon has 24-Cryoburn and Invasion, which are not at thefifthimperium
AFAIK, Baen โ on behalf of Lois McMaster Bujold โ requested the remove of Cryoburn.
Sorry, can't remember where I read this.
HM.
(typo edit)
I try sir thanks..
Any luck? If you download the zip file, it does give you a lot of stories to wade through, but the ones you are looking for are there (Under "Empire from the Ashes", as HM suggested).
Good luck!

Usually if you click on the title of the cd. It will expand listing the individual stories and groups. You can't read the individual stories online anymore however. But you can id which cd's have the stories you are interested in and then download the cd file.
the Safehold series
That's an interesting read. It's TOUGH to follow, due to the phonetic spelling of names. After a while, I just came up with replacement names on my own. And it's like a lot of Weber books, he gets wordy and there's stuff that could be left out without hurting the plot - probably in the whole series, you could lose the content equivalent of one whole book and not hurt anything, couple of paragraphs here, half a chapter there.
Still worth reading, though, IMHO.
Yeah, but the whole "set up an oppressive religion to prevent the development of technology to protect us from coming to the attention of outside threats (and, oh, of course, we, the one's setting this up, will be in leadership roles within the oppressive religion, that isn't influencing our thinking at all)" thing got old real fast. A bit of a rehash of Heirs of Empire.
I mean, to a certain extent I can see the logic behind it, but it only works if the genocidal aliens don't stumble across you anyway, and if they really do believe that all other intelligent races are a blasphemy against their God, they are going to systematically investigate every stellar system they can, and thus will eventually find Safehold. At which point not being technologically advanced is going to bite them in the ass. Which means it was a stupid plan to begin with, and anyone who was in a leadership position should have realized that.
Unless, of course, they weren't concerned with the long term survival of the species, but only with their own position of power within the structure they created; what happened to future generations didn't really matter, now did it? After all, they'd be long dead.
That fact, of course, is what makes it possible for us to cheer the MC of the series on with no qualms whatsoever. After all, developing an even higher level of technology than they had prior to arriving at Safehold is their only chance to survive the inevitable conflict when Safehold is finally discovered by the aliens' scouts.
Stereotypical conflict between corrupt civil leadership and honorable military. It gets old after a bit.
So, after reading the first book in that series, I gave it a pass. I'm sure it's well written, and that it's well thought out, but the underlying premise just isn't one I want to deal with.

To a certain extent, I agree with you. We know from the Honor books what Manticore becomes. Reading the Manticore Ascendant series is both painful (because you KNOW their future) and at the same time, interesting (because you see that not only do they still have some of the same brand of idiots in the future, you also know they'll succeed in spite of them).
As for Safehold, I find it the way that Merlin and Nimue were able to overcome the issues that were set up to be the most interesting.
IIRC the early CD's had a note that allowed and even encouraged you to GIVE copies away but not SELL them. I don't know if that continued with the later discs.
I don't know if that continued with the later discs
The early discs only had copies of books that were already in the Baen Free Library. The later ones have LOTS more books on them. They made it so you could copy the CD to your own computer or other device without an issue, but they don't want you giving the copies away.

IIRC Baen had to stop the CDs when they partnered with Amazon, I assume for book distribution.

Don't know, I had stopped being a Barfly while they were still putting them out. (It's pesky how real life interferes with what you really want to do.)
But ... having those CD's transferred to my PC and then to a USB stick makes it easy to have a book to read while I'm sitting at work.
