"Hector" by Jason Schmetzer - Another great Zeta Battalion story as the Dragoons try to be the first to take Hesperus II

"Straw Man" by James Swallow - A fascinating look at a Lyran world in the late stages of technological collapse at the nadir of the Third Succession War, ravaged by FWL Liberation Unit attacks, and making do with bluff and bluster when the tech runs out.
"Think Like a Liao" by Susan Putney - One of the few stories featuring Tormano Liao as the POV character, and a great look at internal Liao and Maskirovka power dynamics.

"Kindred Soul" by Lance Scarinci
