Three Ravens Publishing has sent Review Copies of NOT TO YIELD to Locus Magazine for potential Reviews. At this time, we are promoting this shared-world anthology to all the Readers of Locus Magazine for consideration toward nominations/votes in the 2026 Locus Awards in the categories of “Best Anthology” and “Best Short Story” (for any one of the 18 short stories in NOT TO YIELD).
We humbly ask that everyone share this news with Sci-Fi Readers everywhere.
Ten years in the making, this massive shared-world anthology was written by 18 of today's most talented sci-fi authors. Drawing inspiration from such Sci-Fi Classics as A.E. Van Vogt’s THE VOYAGE OF THE SPACE BEAGLE, David Brin’s STARTIDE RISING, Homer’s THE ODYSSEY, Joe Haldeman’s THE FOREVER WAR, E.E. Smith’s SKYLARK SERIES, Robert A. Heinlein’s STARSHIP TROOPERS, and Larry Niven’s THE MOTE IN GOD’S EYE, Three Ravens Publishing has unleashed a contemporary space opera packed with military characters pushed far beyond the boundaries of compassion, justice, anger, rage, and desperation. Survival has never been so visceral as this unrelenting journey home where overcoming one’s own savagery is but the beginning of the vicious and menacing obstacles that block, delay, and thwart the galactic warship The Ekaterina at every turn. Strap in. This wild voyage is about to start.

HOMECOMING by Michael H. Hanson
It is the end of a bloody and savage 10-year-long interstellar war. Earth is part of the 230 sentient races of the Polisian War Fleet on their su***de mission to destroy “The Scourge,” an unknown bellicose species whose only purpose is to annihilate all intelligent life and colonize their sterilized habitats.
On the far side of The Milky Way Galaxy, Captain Tennyson Illiadus and the crew of The Ekaterina infiltrate the enemy’s massive, rogue Dyson sphere, and set off a devastating Singularity-Bomb, an all-devouring Dark Matter Fountain which not only destroys the enemy but most of the galactic space-gate network that is the travel infrastructure for the entire galaxy.
The Ekaterina is now cut off from Earth. Stranded far from home, the crew must combine cold-sleep hibernation, near-light-speed relativistic space flight, and random, unmapped, dangerous Dark Energy Arterial Tunnels in a desperate, epic journey of Homeric proportions.
