Anyone know where I can get all the Dahak books? They seem to be out of print.

You can download Mutineers Moon from Baen's free library. I ordered the other two at Hastings.

Thanks, I'll give it a whirl...

Check any used book store near you if the other ideas don't pan out, you might get lucky. Actually, you would have to be lucky, not much Weber turns up in the secondhand stores.

And probably not in Sweden.

Tried Amazon.com?
I order all of my books from there.

Naah, I was under the impression Amazon deals with books that were in print only.

I've ordered both Armageddon Inheritance and Heirs of Empire from them in the last 5-6 months.

Then I stand corrected, and very happy. Now to find that credit card...

Never heard of these books. Isn't Dahak a Persian or Zorostrian deity?

Dahak is a 40.000 year old battleship or planetoid, about 3000km in diameter or something, during his 40.000 years masqeruading as Earth's moon he becomes sentient too.
He's got enough firepower to vaporize a planet several times over.

Dahak is a Fourth Imperium warship, specifically an Utu-class planetoid. I recommend you go to the link provided in my first post to this thread and read Mutineers Moon. It's very good.

I figured that Dahak would not be a god in this tale- but does it say where they got the name? Is that where the name comes from?

Humanity is descended from Dahak's crew, so there you go

Sure I know about SF. I just happen to live in Malmö, and figured it was a bit of an iffy proposal to go all the way to Stockholm for an out of print book.

Yeah, but still, if the book isn't in print anymore...

Actually, at least here in the states the books are still in print. I can find them easily enough at all the bookstores I frequent.

Actaully, not much. to the 4th Imperium (where Dahak comes from) , the name "Dahak" is just a tranditional name for the ships , like today's "Enterprise"

Judging by the ship's crest, a Dahak is a three headed dragon creature. I'd guess a mythological creature of some sort but maybe a real creature they stumbled across.
