See Fifth Imperium for snippets.

Sample chapters are available at Baen Ebooks.

As for why they weren't posted here, no idea. A Call to Arms is out now in hardcover and ebook format.

Yup, I saw them on Buckley's site, and wondered why on earth they were not here on the main site.....

Wondered if it had any contractual issues or some such.

This is odd. I have just read all the current snippets but realised that I had read them in the past. Moroever I can distinctly remember reading to the end of the battle with the Volsungs, but these current snippets stop far short of that. Was more available elsewhere? - I dont ever get earcs either.

We first met Travis Long in Timothy Zahn's short story A Call to Arms from the 2013 anthology Beginnings.
Then a Prequel novel A Call to Duty was published, followed this year by a full novel of A Call to Arms.

That earlier short story featured some of the fight with the Volsungs (but skipped over the later parts of it). You're probably remembering the fight from there.
